Add green beans, salt and mix well. Add ½ cup water and mix well.

Tips

Based on some of the reviews to help you make the perfect Green Bean Curry every single time—because that’s always my goal!

1️⃣ Adjust Cooking Time Based on Your Preference – If you prefer firmer beans and potatoes, try 1 minute of high pressure instead of 2. Cooking time can vary slightly depending on the size of your potato cubes and the freshness of the beans, so experiment to find your perfect texture!

2️⃣ Consider the Instant Pot Size – In an 8-quart Instant Pot, it can take longer to come to pressure, which might slightly impact cooking time. If your veggies are turning out unevenly cooked, try cutting potatoes into smaller, even-sized pieces and allowing a quick release immediately after cooking to prevent over-softening.
