I used way too much Cayenne (a full teaspoon) and extra cream and broth which took this recipe into outer space but WOW – delicious. Chops were so tender and tasty. Still recovering from the flavor explosion. Thank you.

Yes cayenne pepper is super spicy, you need just 3 heavy dashes the most. Thanks for trying the recipe and do try more recipes on my site: https://rasamalaysia.com/recipe-index-gallery/

Hi Rasa !
I love this recipe, however, I don’t have a slow cooker. Do you a recipe I could use to make this dish in a pan?
Best,

If I’m using a crock pot, do I add the heavy cream, salt, and shredded Parmesan at the beginning of the process?
Rasa Malaysia
No to heavy cream because it will curdle. I would add towards the end.

Trying this tonight, I’ll let you know how it turns out. Just from some quick research I did I’ll probably add the cream into the crockpot for the final hour of cooking. I can’t wait to try it!!
Rasa Malaysia
Awesome please let me know.

Should the 8 minute high pressure cooking occurring while the valve is sealed, ie steam should not be escaping during these 8 minutes, right? After the 8 minutes are up, we do Quick Release? Sorry, newbie to Instant Pot.
Rasa Malaysia
