Puchakaaya Koora (Water melon curry)

This is a new recipe i learnt from one of my dearest friend Sunanda. When we eat water melon we throw the base. We can utilize this base also and make curry out of it. This is a little sweeter in taste and hope you enjoy this dish.

Ingridients:-
1. Water melon base peeled and chopped into small peices
2. Tomato
3. Onion (optional)

1. Take oil in a pan and season with mustard seeds, chana daal, toor daal, jeera and hing. Add a little turmeric powder. Add chopped onion if you want at this point.
2. Once they sputter add green chillies, curry leaves
3. Add the water melon peices.
4. Close the lid for them to cook.
5. Add tomato puree freshly prepared
6. Add Salt and little sugar also to enhance the flavour of the water melon.
7. Add dhania powder little if you wish so.

Take off from heat. This is good to eat with chapati or rice.
