Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • ½ cup carrot chopped
  • ¼ cup shallot chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seed
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 cardamom pod
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup tomatoes canned
  • 1 cup coconut milk unsweetened
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt more to taste
  • 1 lb pork chops cubed (trim fat and cut off bone, if bone-in pork chops)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in the Instant Pot on Saute mode. Add the mustard seeds and cook until they begin to pop (takes about 3 minutes) then add the rest of the spices except for the cardamom pod and the bay leaf. Cook the spices for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
  • Add the shallots, ginger, and garlic to the pot and cook for another minute, stirring continually. (They’ll burn if you’re not careful)
  • Add the pork and cook it thoroughly.
  • Add the peppers and carrot and cook for a little bit.
  • Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, cardamom pod, and bay leaf. Add 1/4 c water to this.
  • Close the Instant Pot and turn it onto soup mode for 4 minutes. (Total to get to pressure and release was about 15 minutes.)
  • Remove the bay leaf and cardamom pod (if you can find it), otherwise warn everyone not to eat it.
  • If you want the sauce to be thick, you can turn the Instant Pot to saute mode and reduce the curry. Otherwise, it’s time to serve it.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice or low-carb naan bread (suggestions in post)
