1. 1Transfer the soaked sabudana to a metal mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly under running water, gently rubbing to remove excess starch.
2. 2Heat 4 tablespoons of ghee in a black non-stick pan on an induction cooktop.
3. 3Once the ghee is hot, add 1 tablespoon of mustard seeds, 6-8 curry leaves, and 1/4 cup of raw peanuts, stirring until they are lightly roasted and fragrant.
4. 4Add 1/2 cup of diced raw potatoes to the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, stir well, cover, and cook until the potatoes are tender and have developed a golden-brown crust.
5. 5While the potatoes cook, combine 1 cup fresh coriander, 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, 2 green chilies, 1 tablespoon chopped ginger, and 1 tablespoon water in a mixer/grinder jar, and blend until a smooth, vibrant green paste is formed.
6. 6Once the potatoes are cooked, add the rinsed sabudana and the prepared green paste to the pan.
7. 7Thoroughly mix all the ingredients with a spatula/spoon, ensuring the sabudana pearls are evenly coated with the green paste.
8. 8Cover the pan again and cook for approximately 5 minutes to allow the sabudana to finish cooking and absorb the flavors.
9. 9Remove the lid, squeeze 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice into the khichdi, and add 1 tablespoon of bright red pomegranate arils.
10. 10Gently mix everything one last time.
11. 11Serve the Hariyali Sabudana Khichdi warm in a black textured bowl, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh green cilantro leaves.
