Celebrity chef Kunal Kapur recently shared a recipe on Instagram showing how one can make halwa using watermelon rind. "Watermelon ka halwa that is tarbooj halwa is made using the rind of the watermelon. The white portion of the melon is nutritious but lacks taste so we often discard it," he wrote alongside a picture of the delectable halwa. The rind can also be used to make curry or chutney, he said.
Ingredients:-
Watermelon rind, 2-3 tbsp - Ghee, 1 tbsp - Semolina (Sooji), 1 tbsp - Besan (gram flour), 1/2 cup - Sugar, 1/2 tsp - Cardamom powder, Nutmeg (a pinch, optional), 1 cup - Milk, Almond and pista ( a handful)
How to make:-
Cut the rind on both edges and peel off the green skin so that the white skin underneath shows. Slice the rind into small pieces. Put them in a grinder and make a puree. In a pan, heat ghee. Add semolina and besan and roast on low flame till it turns brown. Add the watermelon puree and stir on high flame till the water dries up. Add sugar and stir. Add cardamom powder and nutmeg. Then pour milk and cook. Add almond and pista. Take it out in a bowl and let it cool.
