Melon curry recipe

Influenced by a similar recipe in "The Great Curries of India" by Camellia Panjabi (1995), this is a dish that will astonish your guests. Since it takes less time to make the curry than it does to prepare the rice, however, you might just want to make it mid-week. Be sure to cut the watermelon into cubes that are small enough to fit whole into the mouth to avoid being messy when eating. The original recipe did not use the coconut milk and used whole cumin seed instead of ground.

A curry? Made from watermelon? You don’t get it. Neither did I — at least at first. When I came across this traditional dish from Rajasthan, the largest state in India located in the northwest corner of the country, I didn’t quite know what to think of it. I can eat pounds and pounds of watermelon in all forms throughout the summer, but this isn’t one I expected. I tried it anyway, and guess what? It works — it works extremely well.
