Instant Pot Fibre Soup /Healthy Varagu Vendaikaai Soup (IP Millet Ladies finger soup)

My mom was telling me that she is preparing ladies finger soup nowadays that tastes good. So I thought of preparing the same soup with the healthy kodo millet. Both kodo millet and ladies finger have a rich dietary fibre content, I named it as fibre soup. Wow the soup was really delicious with millet😋😋. I have already posted many soups  - soup recipes.
