The main reason I pureed my version was pure laziness, I should have chopped the broccoli into smaller florets to begin with and then it wouldn't have been necessary. The watermelon curry sounds really interesting, it's not something I can imagine my fellows being into but I'll bookmark it to try for a gathering one day.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-73982541462061267222013-03-10T10:07:01.367+11:002013-03-10T10:07:01.367+11:00Thanks Kath - definitely prettier before blending ...Thanks Kath - definitely prettier before blending - just need to get used to this curly kale I think.

And yet - I think I'd quite like it. I also like the different flavours in your green dal, and like you, suspect I'd like them left different rather than pureed (although, like you, I live with someone who would not want leaves in their dish). <br /><br />I hope the cubby house has recovered and your elbow does the same too!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-66331912189483344152013-03-04T12:33:02.813+11:002013-03-04T12:33:02.813+11:00Ooh, I have a lot of watermelon in the fridge, and...Ooh, I have a lot of watermelon in the fridge, and this sounds like a fascinating thing to do with it!Catherinehttp://www.catescates.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-91816917032806301942013-03-04T02:15:11.678+11:002013-03-04T02:15:11.678+11:00I'm a big fan of all kinds of dal so I know i ...I'm a big fan of all kinds of dal so I know i would love the dal, but watermeloncurry? I'm intrigued. I suspect it's the kind of dish you'd either love or hate. And probably the rather hard, underripe melons we get in the UK would be better for this dish than the soft, sweet ones found in warmer climates.

I can't wait to try this with creamed corn if I still have one in my pantry. :)<br /><br />Also, that watermelon curry sounds so intriguing.
