About

If you like spaghetti squash, you are in for a treat once you discover how to cook it in the Instant Pot®. It makes the entire process ridiculously simple. A poriyal is a stir-fry from Southern India. You can make this dish with any vegetable that suits your fancy, but the naturally delicate texture of the spaghetti squash lends itself well to stir-frying. This dish is great any time of year, but fits especially well on an autumn holiday table.
