Watermelon Curry

Watermelon Curry

¼ large seedless watermelon, cut in 1 ½ inch cubes

1 ½ red chili

Pinch of turmeric

½ tsp coriander

1 tsp garlic puree

2 T oil

¼ tsp cumin seeds

Sugar to taste

2-3 tsp lime juice

Cut up watermelon. Take 1 cup watermelon cubes and blend to make a juice. To the juice add the chili, turmeric, coriander, garlic and salt to taste.

Heat the oil in a wok, add the cumin seeds and within 20 seconds, add the watermelon juice mixture. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes, so the spices cook completely and the juice is reduced by 1/3.  If using sugar, add it now, then add lime juice and cook for 1 minute. 

Add remaining chopped watermelon and cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes, gently tossing it until all the pieces are covered in the spice mixture.   Serve as a side dish.
