Whether it’s lamb, beef, or pork, spicy meat fry is an absolute favorite in our household. We like them loaded with spices and full of flavor.

This recipe is simple to make, and obviously, a delicious way to cook from scratch. Cook diced pork along with spices in a pressure cooker, and then temper with more whole spices. That’s it!

As always you can add more or less chilly powder to suit your heat levels. And you can serve this spicy pork with rice, flatbread, or even in a roll.

In my husband’s words “This is a winner”! I don’t eat meat but cooked this for him. I increased the spice level and it was super tasty- so much so that I’m making it for dinner again today in a larger portion!
