WATER MELON CHUTNEY

During summer season, we always buy lots of water melon and I used to preserve the white portion of it to make varieties of dishes out of it.   the link is here:    Rasam, curry, juice , kootu,  kheer, dosa   halva, pickle.

The most liked one was the halva which I had sent to my husband's office for his birthday.  The chutney made out of the white portion of the water melon was very tasty with the dosa today.   You can always try some different varieties when you are bored of the regular chutneys served.
