Combine eggplants, bell pepper, onion, and garlic in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add water, cumin, oregano, and salt. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions, set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Meanwhile, heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, cook and stir until thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Cook 1 minute more, stirring roux constantly. Add white beans to roux and mix.

Scoop cooked eggplant and vegetables out of pressure cooker using a slotted spoon or pasta server, including as little water as possible, and transfer to a blender. Add roux-bean mixture and blend until smooth. Add lemon juice, tahini, and oil.
