CHILLI MELON RELISH

IT’S quite common to find savoury and sweet flavours blended in Indian and South-East Asian cuisine. This relish is an ingenious way of introducing more fruit and colour into your diet, while the antioxidant value of having more fruits on your plate could positively impact your eye and skin health. It’s perfect for pairing with highprotein foods such as beans, lentils or even simple poached chicken.
