Veen, Thanks for the recipe.. I have a big melon.. may be I will try it. Quick question.. you had mentioned white and green ... not sure which one to use.. the whole green part or the white part inbetween..
thank you soooo much. I had done a similar recipe before from a blog but was breaking my head trying to locate it. I have saved the white part and will try this recipe. I read too that the white part has most of the nutrients... Latha
Thanks Uma :thumbsup Will try it this weekend. May be should try to make moorkulambhu out of it me thinks.. let's see..
Nandhu, Even a simple raita with this cube steamed will taste good. Experiment panni paaru. Good luck
Hi girls, i just started a thread about storing watermelon for couple of days, i have a really big one this time. help me
Hi All, Thanks for reply. Sorry could not log in Y'day. Nandshyam : Green Part is the skin which has to be peeled. Red part of the watermelon is sweet which we as fruit. Below that white layer & skin is there. After eating melon remove the skin & use it for this receipe. take care veen
Dear, Thanks, it is so nice to have recipes with which we throw away. Definitely i will try and tell you. My mouth is watering when i read. Jaya
