For every 350 to 500 grams of cut green beans, add in 3 to 4 tablespoons of water. That's just the amount of water that is required to steam all the beans in the pressure cooker.

After two whistles, turn off the pressure cooker and carefully release the pressure weight from the cooker immediately.
You can do this by holding the cooker under running water. This process helps retain all the colour and nutrition in the green beans while also having them perfectly steamed, and not overcooked.
