Ingredients
  

To roast

  • 1 tsp cooking oil
  • 1 tbsp Urad Dal
  • 3-7 dry red chillies
  • 1 tsp flax seeds

To add to the roastedmix

  • 1 cup water melon peel white part chopped
  • 1 medium Tomato
  • 2 sprigs curryleaves
  • 2-3 slices fresh ginger root

To add fresh

  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves chopped

If necessary

  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Remove the green peel from the white part of the watermelon rind. Roughly dice the white part. Set it aside
  • To a heavy work add a spray of oil and roast the urad day and the dry red chilli, till the dal turns golden brown and the red chillies crispy to a snap. Add the flax seeds and saute until some of them crackle.
  • Now add the diced watermelon rind, chopped tomato, ginger slices and saute for about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle salt and steam for another two minutes so they release water and steam through. 
  • Add in the coriander leaves and take off the heat. 
  • Cool and grind to a smooth paste.  Enjoy with crispy dosa or soft steamed idly

Notes

  • Add a tsp of grated coconut or almond flakes for an added nutty flavour.
  • Toss in a tsp of chia seeds to add a bit more beneficial fibre.
  • If the chutney appears very thick... Add a two tsp of warm water.
