Called “mogem” in South Goa and “chibdel” in North Goa, this simple dessert is sure to leave you salivating. Mogem is a variety of melon found in Goa during the monsoons. It does not have much flavor but just a mild floral aroma and is mildly sweet. My favorite way to eat this melon is to add sugar and lemon to it. This is one of the quickest desserts you can make!

How to make it:

Mogem - Cut the melon into small pieces.
- Add lemon juice and sugar. You can substitute sugar with jaggery.

- I love it chilled! But you can serve it at room temperature as well.
