Can i use pork belly for this recipe? Do i need to remove fat from the meet?
Hi Jay,
You can use pork belly meat, infact any part of pork meat you can use. Remove the skin if its there in pork and the fat just below it. Too much fat i don’t suggest, but little fat is required as it gives taste to the dish you prepare.
Thanks

While pressure cooking the pork how much water is to be added in marination or is there any extra glass of water required before pressure cooking.
Hi Gauranga,
No need to add any water while pressure cooking pork. Water will ooze out and there will be some stock when you open cooker after cooking. This stock is sufficient for this recipe. Happy Cooking!!!!

I followed the instructions to the letter and the dish came out exactly like in the picture. Tastes really good and was an instant hit. Thanks!
Thanks Arvind!!!!!

Thanks Sarah!!!!!

I’m a bachelor and cooked pork (or any meat) for the first time using this recipe. It was yummy! Thank you very much.
One mistake I did was added a glass of water with marinated pork. Because of that the gravy was little loose and didn’t look like the image.
Hi Anoop,
Happy to know that your first attempt of cooking meat itself came out well and thanks a lot for your feedback. Yes adding water is not required for this recipe. I am sure you will take care next time.
Happy Cooking

How long does it typically take to pressure cook 1kg pork. Cooking for the first time.
And if I don’t want to pressure cook it, can I just marinate the meat for longer and then slow cook it in the kadhai?
Hi Jaya,
For the whistle to come and pressure to drop completely, time will be from 30-40 mins. Pork you need to pressure cook itself. In-fact it needs to be pressure cooked well, so that it kills any harmful bacteria if present in it.
Thanks
Vimmy 🙂
Only three words for you: Wow! Thank you!
Thanks a lot W.Dsouza 🙂
I’m new to Kerala cooking and am still learning the basics. I came across your website and tried this dish and it came out so well. The directions were so easy to follow and my husband was shocked to learn that I made it. Thanks!!
Thats such a lovely feedback Donna 🙂 I am sure you are a good cook. Try out more recipes. Happy Cooking!!!!

Vimmy
Thank you :-).. Tried your recipe and it came out really good
Dear DEB,
Thanks a lot for your lovely feedback. Its one of my favorite too
Happy Cooking

The ingredients mentioned in the “To marinate” is in addition to the “Ingredients” listed above.
The quantity of chilli powder doesn’t match up either ways. Please advice.
The recipe looks very nice otherwise.
Dear Krishna,
Thanks for bringing it to my notice. I have corrected it. Yes, the ingredients mentioned in the “To marinate” is in addition to the “Ingredients” listed above.
Infact we can vary the amount of chilli powder as per your spice level. If the green chilli we take is very hot we need to reduce the amount of red chilli powder. Hope i am clear 🙂
Cheers
Vimmy
very nice and yummy recipe…but i guess i need to fry off the oil in the pork before pressure cooking because otherwise the gravy gets too oily and fatty…
Dear Priya,
Thanks a lot for the feedback. If you dont want the gravy to be oily, you can fry off the oil in the pork before cooking. Here my family just love that. They wont even allow me to remove the fat part of pork. You can do the additional step to suit your taste. Happy Cooking!!!!
Cheers
Vimmy 🙂
vow!!!hot !!!!i liked it very much…my husband liked it very much… 😉
Dear Zonia,
Its one of our favorite too. We make it when ever feel like having something spicy and thanks a lot for your feedback 🙂
Cheers

when do i put the salt ?
Do i need to put cumin seeds ?
Dear xyz,
When you marinate, you need to add salt. After pressure cooking pork check for salt. If its less again add it along with masala and then add the cooked pork. I always prefer to add cumin seeds to all non veg curries as it gives a special taste for it. Give it a try, i am sure you then start using it regularly.
Happy Cooking!!!!!
Vimmy 🙂
