Kharbooj ki Subzi / Rock Melon Curry

Rock melon cooked with Indian spices

Sweet melon comes in different shapes and colours but they all have two things in common-a soft and juicy pulp and superb taste,so its hard to say no to melons but what will you do if the melon you brought turned out to be a raw and tasteless melon...this happens with me last week, so I decided to make a curry from it, which turn out so delicious and flavourful.so try this when your melon disappoints you..
