For the sauce: roast the tomatoes, chiles, onion, garlic, and cumin on a griddle. Set aside. Blend the sauce ingredients in your Oster® blender until smooth, season with salt and pepper. Set aside. For the dough: in a bowl, beat the lard with your Oster® Heatsoft hand mixer until the lard is softened, gradually add the water, then the baking powder and salt until you have a homogeneous and light dough. Place a tablespoon of dough, a tablespoon of sauce, and the pork meat on each corn husk; wrap to form a tamale. Place the rack accessory in your Oster® pressure cooker, add water, place the tamales, and cover by turning the pressure valve. Press the 'steamer' function, set the time for 30 minutes, and start the process. When your Oster® pressure cooker finishes and beeps, let the tamales rest for 10 minutes, then gently open the steam valve and remove the tamales. Enjoy, accompanied by pickled onions.
