To tackle the rind problem, I have started using it in my cooking, as in the watermelon rind kootu, a dish made with cooked dal, a vegetable and a spice paste. Watermelon rind ‘kootu’. In a small pan, fry the cumin seeds, red chillies and peppercorns until the chillies turn bright red. In a saucepan, mix the cooked watermelon rind cubes, toor dal, the prepared paste, remaining N tsp salt, and simmer. Fry the mustard seeds, curry leaves and urad dal until the dal turns golden brown.
