Duck Roast

Ingredients 

• Duck – 1/2 kg
• Onion – 2, sliced finely

For Grinding

• Shallots – 1/4 cup, chopped
• Ginger & garlic – 1 – 1.5 tsp, chopped
• Chilly powder – 1-1.5 tsp
• Coriander powder – 2-3 tsp
• Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
• Garam masala – 1 – 1.5 tsp
• Black pepper powder – 1/2 tsp
• Vinegar – 2 tbsp
• Salt

Preparation

1.Grind  ingredients into a fine paste. Marinate the cleaned duck pieces with half of the ground paste.

Keep it aside for 1 hour.

2.Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the marinated duck pieces till it turns golden brown colour. Keep it aside.

3.In the same oil add the finely sliced onions & cook. When the onion becomes golden brown colour

add the remaining half of the ground masala. Fry it till the oil starts appearing.

4.Add 2 cups of boiling water to the onion and masala mix. Combine well.

5.Transfer the fried duck pieces and the onion gravy to a pressure cooker. Cook till the duck is done.

Once the pressure is gone, open the cooker & cook till the gravy thickens. (This curry usually doesn’t have much gravy,  so you need to cook till the water is almost dried and each piece is thickly coated with the masala.)

6.Transfer the duck pieces to a serving dish and garnish with fried onions & curry leaves.
