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..

- Ginger chopped-1/2 tsp

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.
