Watermelon Curry image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 3 cups, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
1 1/2 teaspoons red chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 teaspoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Puree 1 cup of the watermelon cubes, chile powder, turmeric coriander, garlic and cumin in a blender until smooth.
  • Pour puree into a large skillet or wok and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes, so that the contents have reduced by about half.

  • Add the remaining watermelon cubes and simmer until hot through, about 3 more minutes.
  • Serve over rice.

This curry was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I can see how others might enjoy it. I think it would be a good option for people who are new to curry.

This curry was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I will use less chili peppers.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The curry was watery and the watermelon was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The curry was good, but I think it would have been better if I had used a different type of melon. The watermelon flavor was a bit too overpowering.

I found the curry to be a bit bland. I think it needed more spices to give it more flavor.
