I was making aniseed doughnuts in my kitchen. Although for salt I was using NaCl, I began thinking about if I added some kind of ammonia based salt if
there is any way that one could expect to get PMA as a product from the deepfryer?
I would need to buy some ammonium bicarbonate or Sal ammoniac from somewhere to test the theoretical idea out experimentally.

The reaction you speak of, hydroamination, does not occur without metal catalysts.

I was eating boiled soy with panch puran then tinned tomatoes and garlic.
Now soy is the highest nitrogen food available.
I thought that if the nitrogen can add across the anethole then this would cause PMA in vivo.

Well, it has been suggested that Myristicin may undergo an amination in Vivo. Thus accounting for the intoxicating properties of Nutmeg, but I have
not read of such a possibility, with Anethol.

I thought that it was only proven in rabbits, since they own a alkene amination enzyme?
At least their piss contains the corresponding amphetamines after they got feed the alkenes.
I believe humans do not contain any useful amount of these enzymes, if they even have it at all?
