September 11, 2012 by anjanaskc 25 Comments

Kharbooj ki subzi -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 kharbooj ki subzi when your melon disappoints you..

    My melon turned out to be not sweat today and my husband hates to eat such melons and I can’t finish alone. So I remembered days when my grand mother used to make Kharbooje ki sabji. So I was looking for a simple recipe. Thanks to your blog where I found exactly what I was looking for, will try it out.
    Thanks Again.
