Ingredients

• 1 bowl watermelon rind
• 1/2 tbsp cardamom powder
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 bay leaves
• Water
• 1 tsp lemon juice

Directions

• Remove the red flesh of the watermelon, leaving only one very thin layer of red flesh attached to the rind.
• Peel off the hard green part of the rind. Chop the rind into desirable shapes and prick them using fork or toothpick.

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.

• Let it boil until it forms one strand consistency. It’ll take you around 20-30 minutes.
• Once you get that consistency, turn off the flame and leave it for overnight, so that watermelon rinds soak syrup well.
• Store the murabba in a sterilized glass jar and keep it in a dark cool place.
