For Blanching

• Take a heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour water in it and bring it to a boil.

• Next, add watermelon rind and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes or a bit more until the rind pieces are glossy and transparent. 
• Sieve the extra water and allow them to cool.
• Take a separate pan, add water, sugar, bay leaves and cardamom powder.  Stir to dissolve sugar and let it boil.
• When the syrup comes to a boil, add the watermelon rind and the lemon juice.
