When Watermelons are not so sweet what do u do? Make juice
out of it? Make fruit chat? I too used to do the same until this came into my
mind…. Rasam.. yes watermelon rasam…
I had a piece of watermelon lying in the fridge which was
not so sweet to relish.. i was wondering what to make with it… juice or chat? But
then I had finished of with both just 2 days back so this is what came to my
Cooking mind…. How about rasam I thought… If it tastes yum I will post it in my
blog orelse we will just manage it silently is what my blogger mind thought.
But to my luck it was not only yummy but my Hubby did not
even come to know that there were no tomatoes in the rasam…. And he enjoyed it
just like he does for other kind of rasams.
So here is the recipe for you guys too.. If bored with
regular rasam then try this!
Makes: Around 2 Cup of Watermelon Rasam.
Ingredients:
Seedless Watermelon 1 cup (use it for rasam only if it is
not too sweet)
