10. Dry mango powder.....1/2  Tea spoon
11. Sugar....4 Table spoon
12. Garam masala....2 pinch
13. Water....120 ml.

#  Method Of Making....

1. Wash and cut the water melon in lengthwise.

2. Then seperate its red pulp in such a way that much red rind of water melon would remain.

3. Now seperate the red pulp from the water melon's rind in small stripes as shown in the edited pictures.

4. Place the pressure cooker on the medium flame with a spoon of desi ghee.
As the ghee heats up well, just add pinch of cumin seeds and half pinch of  asafoetida to crackle.

5. Just add turmeric powder and coriander powder and saute it.

6. Now add watermelon's rind pieces with salt to taste.

7. Saute it well and add water in the Curry.

8. Just pressure cook it till 1 whistle on high flame and 3 minutes more.

9. Let the pressure down by itself.
Then add sugar and amchur powder and cook it openly  3 minutes more so that sugar will dissolve and Curry would become little thick.
Here adjust the consistency of Curry as your taste.
( If you like, you can add more water. )

10. Then off the flame and add 2 pinch of garam masala and mix it.

11. Lastly take a tadka pan, add 1 spoon desi ghee....as it heats up...just add half pinch of asafoetida and pinch of cumin seeds to crackle.
Off the flame...Now add red chili powder and transfer it in the water melon Curry.
Mix it well.

In this way, delicious, colourful and tangy Curry of water melon's rind is ready to serve.

Just serve it hot with chapatis, Parantha and poori.

# Things To Consider..

1. Watermelon should be fresh and ripe red.

2. Don't over cook it otherwise it will be mashy.
Little chunks of water melon's rind should be there.

3. In place of dry mango powder, you can sprinkle some drops of lemon juice.

4. If you don't like tadka in the Curry...Then add little red chili powder in the starting after adding cumin seeds.

But this method of transferring tadka at the last cooking..... enhances the taste and quality with the same spices.
You will get fresh taste and aroma.
