or Manual setting and set the cooking time for 5 minutes at high pressure.
Perform a quick release by moving the Pressure Release to Venting. Open the pot and coarsely mash the figs with a potato masher or wooden spatula. Add the walnuts, pistachios, ghee, and cardamom and stir together. Press the Cancel button to reset the cooking program, then select the low Sauté setting and cook the halwa, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 10 minutes. Press the Cancel button to turn off the Instant Pot.
Spoon the halwa into bowls and serve.

Notes
Tips:
Make sure the figs are not too old or dry. Add more water if they look too dry
You can quick release after the pressure cooking cycle completes or allow natural pressure release. This recipe is very forgiving
