How to Make Watermelon Curry Matira
- Cut the watermelon into 1-inch cubes. Remove the rind and seeds. Puree 1 cup of the cubed watermelon to make juice.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, ground red pepper, turmeric, coriander, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and fry for 20 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Immediately pour in the watermelon juice and stir to combine with the spice mixture.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about one-third. Stir occasionally.
- Stir in the lime juice and sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Simmer for another minute to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the remaining cubed watermelon to the skillet. Cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes, gently tossing to coat the watermelon evenly and heat it through. Be careful not to overcook the watermelon.
