Tender pork ribs cooked in a spicy Goan masala with coconut vinegar and potatoes, then pressure-cooked until the meat is soft and succulent.
Perfect with rice or pão. ❤️

Ingredients:
700 g pork ribs, cleaned and cut into pieces
20 dried Kashmiri chillies, washed
5 green chillies, slit
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
20 whole cloves
25 black peppercorns
1 cinnamon stick, approximately 3 inches long, broken into pieces
1½ teaspoons turmeric powder
15 garlic cloves
2-inch piece fresh ginger, roughly chopped
150 ml coconut vinegar
100 ml water, for grinding the masala
Salt, to taste
2 medium onions, sliced
Approximately 50 ml oil, for sautéing the onions
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into pieces

Note: Add water to the curry as needed, depending on the consistency you prefer.

Pressure cooker note: I used a Prestige pressure cooker. I first pressure-cooked the pork ribs for 4 whistles, then added the potatoes and cooked for another 2 whistles — 6 whistles in total. Cooking time may vary depending on the make and type of pressure cooker you use.

Enjoy! 😊

Mouthwatering Pressure-Cooked Sardines 🐟🌶️

Sardines are one of my absolute favourites, and this is such a simple and delicious way to cook them.

I layered fresh sardines with onions, tomatoes, green chillies, garlic, ginger and spices, then cooked them slowly with coconut vinegar and olive oil.

They turn out beautifully soft, full of flavour and absolutely delicious. 😋

Ingredients
10 fresh sardines, cleaned and lightly salted
2 large white onions, sliced into rounds
2 large tomatoes, sliced into rounds
10 fresh green chillies, slit
12 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1-inch piece fresh ginger, finely sliced
1 teaspoon crushed red chilli flakes
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt, to taste
100 ml coconut vinegar
100 ml olive oil
50 ml water
A few fresh coriander leaves

Note: Feel free to arrange and layer the ingredients the way you prefer. Sardines are naturally oily, so the olive oil is optional and can be skipped if you wish. The number of whistles may vary depending on the make and type of pressure cooker you use. I used a Prestige pressure cooker, and 5 whistles on a low flame always works well for me.

🔥 Air-Fryer Tandoori Chicken Legs 🔥

Juicy, flavourful and beautifully charred, this homemade tandoori chicken is easy to prepare and tastes just like restaurant-style tandoori chicken! 😋

Ingredients:

• 6 chicken legs, scored
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 2 teaspoons red chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
• 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
• 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
• 1 cup yoghurt
• Juice of 1 lemon
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons salt, or adjust to taste
• 2 drops red food colouring, optional
• Approximately 2 tablespoons oil

Method:

Mix all the ingredients together to make the marinade.

Add the marinade and oil to the scored chicken legs. Mix well, making sure the chicken is evenly coated.

Marinate for at least 30 minutes. For the best flavour and results, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat the air fryer, then cook the chicken legs at 180°C for 20 minutes. Turn them over after 10 minutes and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.

Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the chicken legs and the type of air fryer used. Always check that the chicken is fully cooked before serving.
