WATERMELON CURRY
Influenced by a similar recipe in "The Great Curries of India" by Camellia Panjabi (1995), this is a dish that will astonish your guests. Since it takes less time to make the curry than it does to prepare the rice, however, you might just want to make it mid-week. Be sure to cut the watermelon into cubes that are small enough to fit whole into the mouth to avoid being messy when eating. The original recipe did not use the coconut milk and used whole cumin seed instead of ground.

Steps:
- To Prepare the Watermelon Rind Chutney Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until thickened and the watermelon rinds are translucent, about 1 hour. Allow to cool, ladle into sterilized glass jars and seal tightly. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to a month. To Prepare the Curry Infused Shrimp Combine the water and curry powder in a large steam kettle. Arrange the shrimp in tight curls on a steamer basket, place in the kettle and cover with a tight fitting lid. Bring the water to a boil and steam for about 3 to 5 minutes, just long enough for shrimp to turn pink and tender. Remove shrimp immediately and arrange on an attractive serving platter. Spoon a small dollop of chutney into the curl of each shrimp. Serve warm or chilled.
Tips:
- Select the right watermelon: Choose a ripe watermelon with a deep red color and a firm, heavy feel. Avoid watermelons with soft spots or blemishes.
- Cut the watermelon properly: Cut the watermelon into small, bite-sized pieces. Remove the rind and seeds.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your curry the best flavor. If you can, use coconut milk from a fresh coconut.
- Don't overcook the curry: Watermelon is a delicate fruit, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the curry just until the watermelon is softened but still has a bit of a bite.
- Serve the curry hot or cold: Watermelon curry can be served hot or cold. If you're serving it cold, be sure to chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.
