HOW TO MAKE SALMON PORUTU IN AN INSTANT POT:

1. Clean the fish and cut them into fillets (with skin) if you have skin less much better.

2. Marinate fish with turmeric and salt. Place them on a steam rack.

3. In the instant pot liner, add 1/2 cup of water and place the steam rack. Cover the lid and set it on MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK mode for  2 min, vent sealing.

4. Do natural release.

5. Carefully remove the fish pieces and cool a bit. Separate skin from fish and shred with a fork or fingers.

6. Heat oil in a pan, add onion, curry leaves, and Thai green chili. Saute until the onion turns translucent.

7. Then add ginger garlic paste and saute well.

8. After that add shredded salmon, red chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt to taste( Remember salt is added to salmon before steaming).

9. Cook it on low medium heat until all spices are cooked well and the salmon turns slightly brown. It takes about 5 minutes. Keep stirring in between to avoid charring.
