Vegetarian Chili in Instant pot

         Today we are going to share a recipe that is different from Indian cooking and here in United States it is mostly cooked with meat. But what we are doing here is fully vegetarian  and they have the vegetarian version. I don't think they use much of the vegetables in it and they use beans. In my version we are going to include vegetables too and make it as a wholesome nutritious😋😉😋.Another thing is that we are are going to make it in our INSTANT POT.😉😊
                 Shall we move onto the recipe.One more thing is NO NEED TO SOAK THE BEANS as we are using the INSTANT POT
