Firstly, remove the pink watermelon flesh completely from the rind and set it aside
Use a peeler, remove the green outer skin, and discard
Grind the rind without adding water. I ground it into a coarse mixture. Avoid making them paste
Add ghee and heat on low- medium flame
When the ghee turns hot, add cashews and roast till they turn golden brown. Turn off the stove and Transfer
Add ground watermelon rind and turn on the stove
Sauté well till the moisture in the ground rind evaporates
Furthermore, add hot milk and saffron; mix well and cook till it thickens and comes together
Add sugar and cardamom powder, and mix well
After adding sugar halwa loosens up. Mix well and cook till it thickens
Furthermore, add roasted cashews and mix well
Finally, add ghee and fried cashews, give a quick mix, and turn off the stove. Move the pan aside and transfer. Serve warm

Make sure the watermelon rind is not spoiled. Always peel the green skin completely and also make sure the rind is without any traces of watermelon flesh
you can grate watermelon rind and prepare halwa. I prefer grinding as it saves time and effort for grinding. If you are grating rind, increase milk
grind according to your preferred texture. The way you grind will alter the halwa texture. I prefer fine coarse grinding
Milk gives the best flavor for the halwa so I would recommend that. You can also prepare halwa without milk. instead of milk, you can add khoya or condensed milk. Adjust sugar according
Always use a wide heavy-bottomed nonstick pan. Keep mixing to avoid halwa from turning brown
Cook till halwa thicken and leave the side of the pan. Halwa turns thick even after turning off the stove so avoid cooking for a long time. That will alter the halwa texture
if you keep halwa in the same pan it thickens and alters the texture so always transfer immediately
You can add food color to the Halwa. I have used a pinch of saffron as it gives nice color and taste
Since we added milk refrigerate the halwa. refrigerated halwa stays good for 3-4 days. Halwa tastes best when served Warm so microwave before serving
