Add the rest of the ingredients through to the salt except coconut milk. Stir making sure to scrape off anything stuck to the bottom of the Instant Pot Insert.
Add coconut milk last, leaving it on the top to avoid a burn notice.

Tips for Making Instant Pot Pumpkin and Plantain Curry

Cook time does not include time to come up to pressure or for pressure to release.
Do not add extra time as ingredients can become mushy.
After you sauté the onions and peppers, scrape the bottom of the pot after adding the stock to prevent sticking during high pressure cook time.
To prevent burning during the Manual High Pressure cooking phase, add coconut milk last and do not mix in.
