This is an interesting recipe. I had seen my grandma make this years ago. This summer I ate a lot of sweet, juicy watermelon and one day I remembered my doddamma's recipe. Well, it's quite simple, it's like any other veggie palya/subji (a veggie dish without any gravy/sauce).
- watermelon peel (the green bit, a couple of quarters)
- fresh green/red chillies
- a small piece of ginger
- a small onion
- 1-2 dry chillies
- 2 tbspns grated fresh coconut
- 1/2 tspn mustard seeds, 1/2 tspn chana dal, 1/2 tspn urad dal, 1 pinch of hing
- 2 tbspns oil
- Wash the peel thoroughly. Chop it up into small cubes.
- Heat oil in a wok/pan and add mustard seeds, chana dal, urad dal and hing
- Add the dry chillies.
- Next add the fresh chillies and grated ginger.
- Now add chopped onion and cook for about 2 mins.
- Tip in the chopped watermelon greens :-)
- Add enough water and cover with a lid. Let it cook well.
- Now just add some salt to taste and sprinkle in the grated fresh coconut.
- Serve with some rice, hot rasam and some papaddums and enjoy!
