Tips & Plan to Follow:

The main prep work for this thali, is to get the black-eyed beans soaked the previous day. I generally store soaked beans in freezer, which makes easy. Started off with chopping the fresh spinach, potatoes, tomatoes & salad veggies.

I have only one Instant Pot, so I made the Aloo Matar Masala / Potato Green Peas Curry on Stove-top and Spinach & Black-eyed beans saute in the Instant Pot. (here is the nearest match for same recipe in Instant Pot>> South Indian style Potato Curry)

At first started with Aloo curry on stove-top. While its cooking, (took only 12 mins) washed & put the rice for cooking, in the Electric Rice Cooker.

Next, comes the Spinach saute in the Instant Pot. While its ON, I prepared the dough for Avocado Roti / tortilla using the food processor within 4 mins.

I boiled the beans in the Instant Pot, emptied the pot & made the saute as well in the pot itself within 5 mins. At last, finished off with Rolling & Making 5 avocado roti(s) within 5 mins.

All items made simultaneously but attentively. Multi-tasking and using all gadgets available is the key.
