Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 8 cups watermelon, cubed (seedless, cubed into bite-size pieces, this is about 5-6 pounds, with the rind)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (sea salt)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 lime, juiced
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Puree 2 cups of watermelon, salt, chili powder, turmeric, coriander, garlic, ginger and cumin seeds. Pour puree into a large wok or heavy pot and bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by about half.

  • Step 2: Add the remaining watermelon, coconut milk and lime juice. Stir very slightly over low heat until the watermelon is warmed through, about 3 minutes. You're not cooking the watermelon, because it will turn to mush if you do!

  • Step 3: Serve immediately over warm quinoa or rice. Sprinkle with a bit of cilantro or shaved coconut, if desired, and maybe with some lime slices as garnish.
