Preparation

Step 1

Add watermelon flesh to a large bowl. Crush it, using a potato masher or by pulsing with a blender (regular or immersion). You want to leave it with some texture and body. In Tonga, this used to be done by grating the watermelon with something like a fork.

When you get the texture to where you like it, stir in the coconut milk and fresh squeezed lime juice.
