Add cubed potatoes or carrots during the last 30 minutes of simmering for a more complete one-pot meal.
To save time, after searing the ribs (Step 3), add the liquids and pressure cook on high for 20-25 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally. Sauté for a few minutes to thicken the gravy if needed.

Goan Pork Ribs are a rich, indulgent dish. They are high in protein, which is essential for muscle repair. However, they are also high in saturated fat and calories.

The most authentic substitutes are toddy vinegar or malt vinegar. If you can't find those, apple cider vinegar is the next best option. Add a pinch more jaggery or sugar if using apple cider vinegar to balance its sharpness.
Absolutely. Follow the instructions up to the searing step. Then, add the liquids, secure the lid, and pressure cook on high for about 20-25 minutes. Allow for a natural pressure release for the most tender meat. You may need to use the sauté function at the end to thicken the gravy.
Leftover Goan Pork Ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The flavors often deepen and taste even better the next day. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
