It would be very helpful if you could translate 1 whistle to length of time in an instant pot.

Bell pepper / Shimla mirch is my favourite vegetable. It tastes good in subzies, salad, snacks or soup. We made Roasted Capsicum and Alfalfa Sprouts Salad with Peanut Dressing,Rajma Vegetable Lunch Salad, Roasted Mushroom & Coloured Capsicum Salad, Roasted Bell Peppers...Fantastic taste.
