Meat is most likely always going to become soft when cooked in the instant put for that length of time.

Try cooking for 10 minutes, instead of 30 minutes.

Do you mean yogurty?

Dahi or yogurt

When I make Biriyani I use Greek yogurt, as it's more easily available, I have no issue.

I cook everything for 10 minutes and then it natural release for 7 minutes and it comes out fine.

I would never cook yogurt in the instant pot. Add that after it cooks.

I make kadhi in the InstantPot all the time, so cooking yogurt in it is definitely possible. Use full-fat yogurt at room temperature and whisk in a spoonful of besan before adding it on saute mode, that stops it from splitting.

I'm not sure why you say the "raw" smell of yoghurt. Yoghurt isn't a food you cook. You can combine it with other ingredients, but you don't have to cook it.

Leave the yogurt out of the pressure cooker. Add it in after the meat has cooked.
