Notes
- It is very important to only let the curry simmer for a few minutes after you add the diced watermelon to the curry. You don't want the chopped watermelon to take on a pulpy consistency, which will occur if it is overcooked.
- For a more gourmet appearance, you can use a melon baller and make melon balls instead of just chopping the watermelon.
