PDFWhenever I get pumpkin or yellow cucumber or cantaloupe, I don’t throw away the seeds inside them. I usually make spicy powder with them to go with rice. They taste super delicious.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup Cantaloupe Seeds (from one Cantaloupe)
- ¼ cup Black Gram (మినప్పప్పు, Urad Dal)
- 1 tbsp Coriander Seeds (ధనియాలు, Dhaniya)
- ½ tsp Cumin Seeds (జీలకర్ర, Jeera)
- A pinch of Asafetida (ఇంగువ, Hing)
- 1 tsp Red Chili Powder (Can be replaced with dry red chilies)
- Salt
Preparation:
Remove seeds from the cantaloupe, wash well and leave them on a plate or a newspaper to dry for a day or two. If placed under a hot sun, it would take just a day to dry.
Dry roast dried cantaloupe seeds and all the other ingredients except salt and chili powder until they turn golden brown in color. Keep aside to cool down.
Add the contents to a blender and powder by adding chili powder and salt as required.
Enjoy this delicious powder with steaming hot rice.

Sounds delicious! You won't believe me, my Mom just shared the idea of making spicy powder with these seeds :)
Wow that's innovative podi, spicy and yummy
@Prathibha,
I didn't get you! Does it makes any difference if we don't peel the skin of these seeds? I checked on the net but I didn't find any health risk if we keep the skin :)
I have been collecting some seeds and will try it out. Normally I use them in Thandai.
I have a box of these seeds, which i usually make spice powders for kootu and all, looks fantastic..
yum, sounds great. Never had cantaloupe seeds before.
I wasn't sure if I could use with the skin on...Now seeing your recipe, I think I can go ahead. Now that its summer here, I buy these melons a lot.
that look so great seeds and yummy.
