Watermelon dosa,Soornali, Tausali & chutney

If you think making dosas from watermelons is wierd, then I presume you won't be buying these square watermelons anytime soon.My jaw dropped when I saw these! Now why didn't I think of this?Everytime there is a space crunch in the refrigerator, because of their unwieldy shapes I end up chopping and rechopping them until I have filled the fridge from top to bottom with 50 different containers and a million watermelon pieces.Wouldn't a square tiny one be just nifty?
All said and done,there is something to be said for NOT thinking "out of the box" but instead just staying right there-IN the box!

Watermelon dosa

White part of water melon ( yup- the one between the juicy red part and the skin) chopped

HI chakuli, The recipes are great, please do mention that it is great in taste if the dough for the surnali has fermented a little. YOu can add thin poha or even bread and a pinch of baking soda to he dough too. It "phugtafies" nicely..;-)..I hope you dont mind the comments

Hi
Makes an interesting recipe with Watermelon. We all love the red juicy part of the watermelon but have never ever thought about the white part of the watermelon.
But all those wondering what to do with the juicy red part you could just eat it or make this refreshing drink:
