Nopalitos <> Tarbooz ki Sabzi

Directions

1. 1

   Wash the outside of your watermelon well, and then roughly chop however easiest for you! In the meantime, get a pot of water boiling.

2. 2

   Once all roughly chopped, dump into your boiling water, bring back to a rolling boil, cover, and let it cook until super tender (25-30 min for how large I had cut mine). If you've made my other watermelon rind recipes, you want to cook it longer for this recipe, we don't really want any crunch.

3. 3

   Drain once fork tender and carefully chop / dice finely. Add to a large bowl.

4. 4

   Chop your onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado and add to the bowl as well.

5. 5

   In a tadka pan or any small frying pan, heat up some neutral oil and then add cumin seeds. Once they start wiggling around, add chopped green chilies and kashmiri red chili powder. After 20 seconds, remove from heat and add to your bowl.

6. 6

   Add salt and lime juice to taste and give it a good mix. Top with crumbled cotija cheese. Serve as a dip, as a side, a topping for tacos/salads, whatever you want!!
