Did you know that we can use watermelon rind for cooking? Mamarazzi didn't know till Uncle Tan mention about watermelon rind can be use to cook curry.
Mamarazzi googled...true enough.......there are plenty recipe on using watermelon rind for a dish.
She waited till we bought a watermelon. She didn't throw away the rind. Instead kept them.
She cooked Watermelon Rind Curry using recipe from Thaitable.com
As you know, she didn't really follow the recipe to the dot.
Bought a fish. Boiled it and peel out the flesh. Mash it.
Blend some shallots, garlic and cili paste
Poured the mixture into the same water that she used to boil the fish. Add in the fish meat.
Add some tamarind water.
Lastly added in the watermelon rinds.

DeleteMy mother uses the watermelon rind to boil soup too but without any watermelon red or yellow flesh sticking to the rind. The rind tastes like winter melon to me whrn boiled for a long time in the soup - very tasty.
ReplyDeleteShould be very sweet
DeleteSo in thr end did mamarazzi finish eating all the water melon rinds in the soup?
ReplyDeleteNah...too much. Can't finish

My mum sliced and stir-fried the rind before. Nice and crunchy. Good that it's 'free' (otherwise will just throw mah) but rumoured to contain lotsa pesticides. Aiya. Like that should just plant our own watermelon, worst case can just eat the rind. But after attract snakes pulak... aiya give up.
ReplyDeletenot eating daily...once in blue moon should be okay la
Deletewah, very creative cooking the watermelon rind in curry!! Uncle SK will always just eat the flesh and throw away the watermelon rind, or if not, sometimes being playful, will use the chilled watermelon rind as "facial mask".. just put them on clean face, very cooling and can help to cool down leh..
ReplyDeleteuiks...can use as facial mask ah...goody...will ry next time
Deleteactually after removing the skin, Uncle SK thinks the watermelon rind can be just eaten like that leh.. reminds him about the pomelo skin, maybe can also do the same thing?? jemur already then put sugar and can become very nice snacks woh.. Mamarazzi quickly go google and see if this is possible?? :p
ReplyDeleteya lo.....hahaha all thanks to google
Deleteaiyoh, so bad lah, like nobody gave face to Mamarazzi's new creation.. actually Mamarazzi has been putting lots of effort in cooking this woh.. got fish got tamarind somemore, and sure the watermelon rind absorbs all the curry goodness.. Small Kucing so happy, eating his fried chicken while watching both Paparazzi and Mamarazzi "experimenting" the new dish~~ :p
ReplyDeletenext time must try harder la
DeleteCertainly I didn't know and will be great to try out to find out the taste.

DeleteMamarazzi can cook up a storm nowadays, lucky for paparazzi and small kuching. Watermelon rind in curry, kind of weird combination la, meow.
ReplyDeletestill learning here and there la
DeleteAw, that's too cool! Never knew you can use watermelon rinds in cooking! xoxo
ReplyDeleteMamarazzi just learnt about it
DeleteInteresting, watermelon rinds used in cooking!
ReplyDeleteyes ...first time heard
DeleteVery nice recipe Kathy! :)
ReplyDeleteI like something a little different like this one. Watemelon rinds, never knew it could be used like this.
That's good then - can eat the watermelons first and then use the rinds for this recipe. Will try it when I get a watermelon! :D
Aiyo! Your curry is so clear looking which doesn't look like what is cooked in Thailand. I can guarantee that everyone who ate this, loved them!
ReplyDeletetoo much water ah?
DeleteSimple la, watermelon's inner skins is like the honeydew and it is not even bitter which is suitable to absorb the curry flavour.
ReplyDeleteohh....baru learnt
