Wat-A-Melon!!! More than just water...

Plot: One of our usual 'arguments' (my husband likes to call them 'fights' to make them sound dramatic!) at home.
Cause: The juicy, beautiful, delicious Waaaterrrrrmelon!!
Question: Why not just drink water instead of taking the trouble to cut a watermelon and play kabaddi with the seeds which ultimately tastes like flavoured water???

For those of you who have had the same question, you might want to give it a rethink.
Here's why:

And now with summer around the corner, Watermelon's might be safely rated "hu-man's best friend"!

Have you ever tried pickling the rind of watermelons or finding a way to turn them into a tasty main course? Do you know how to turn the seeds into tasty chai-time snacks? Please do share them.

  1. I remember using the white portion of the rind for dosa. It was a long long time ago :)
