• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
• 1 cup water or chicken broth
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Set your pressure cooker to sauté mode and heat the vegetable oil.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.

Step 5

Deglaze the pot by adding the white vinegar and scraping any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 6

Mix in the tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes to intensify the flavor.

Step 7

Add the pork cubes and stir to coat them with the spice mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the diced tomatoes, water or chicken broth, salt, and sugar. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Add the potato chunks to the pot, ensuring they are slightly submerged in the liquid.

Step 10

Seal the pressure cooker lid and set it to cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.

Step 11

Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release to vent any remaining steam.

Step 12

Open the lid carefully, and give the vindaloo a good stir. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or cayenne if needed.

Step 13

Serve the Pork Vindaloo hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro. Pair it with steamed rice or warm naan for a delightful meal.
