Start by removing the green skin from the rind with a peeler or knife. Then chop them into small cubes.
Place a cast-iron skillet on medium heat and drizzle a few teaspoons on oil.
As the oil heats up, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
When the spices start to sizzle, add chopped onions.
Saute the onions until they are translucent and then add cubed watermelon rinds. Stir well.
Now add the turmeric powder, sambar/curry powder, garam masala powder, and salt. Continue to stir well.
Cover with lid until the watermelon rind is cooked. (Takes 8- 10 mins)
That’s it! Watermelon rind curry is ready! Serve it hot or warm as a pair for steamed rice or chapati.
