RecipeInstructions
Instant pot Version:
  1. In a small pan, toast the fennel seeds and the black pepper corns for 1-2 mins on low heat until you get the aroma. Turn heat off.
  2. In a food processor, blend the toasted fennel seeds, black pepper corns, the onion, ginger, garlic and green chillies (if adding) together to get a coarse paste.
  3. In the insert pot of the Instant Pot, add this mixture to the pork and add the sea salt. Add crushed red chilli pepper, turmeric, kashmiri chilli powder and curry leaves and the coconut oil. Then add the coconut chips (pieces). Add one cup water and the cubed potatoes or taro root pieces(if adding). Mix everything well and then close the lid of the instant pot. Turn vent to sealing position and press 'pressure cook' and set time to 10 mins.
  4. Let pressure release naturally and then Open the lid and add the apple cider vinegar. Check for salt and add more if needed. Drizzle extra coconut oil on top before serving!
Regular Pressure Cooker version:
  1. Follow all the steps as above and cook for 4 whistles on medium heat. Turn heat off and let sit for 5 mins before opening and then add the vinegar and extra coconut oil.
