Rinse the white basmati rice very well and add to the instant pot.
Add water, coconut milk and salt, mix well to combine.
Also add the butter, close the instant pot with lid in sealing position and cook in high pressure cooker for 5 minutes.
Once the cooking is done, press "keep warm/cancel' button and wait for a natural pressure release for about 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes of natural pressure release, carefully do a gradual manual pressure to release the remaining pressure.
