PREPARATION

















  • Clean the duck well and cut into small pieces. Some people cook the duck with skin but i prefer duck pieces without skin. Drain it aside. 
  • Coarse grind the ingredients given under  ' to coarse grind ' and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add green chilies. Saute for a while and then add two  table spoon of coarse grind paste. Saute until raw smell goes off.
  • To this, add sliced onion. Saute well until soft and transparent.
  • When done, add sliced tomato and saute for a minute. Then add the spice powders along with some salt. Combine well. Let it cook well until tomato become mushy over a medium flame. Saute continuously.
  • Now add the drained duck pieces. Mix very well with the gravy.
  • Add half a cup of warm water. Mix again. Duck itself will release water when heated. So do not add more water.
  • Close the lid and cook for 2 whistles. 
  • Once the pressure releases, open the lid and pour a cup of thick coconut milk. Mix well and let it cook over a medium flame until thick. This slow cooking makes this curry more yummy. 
  • When done, heat a pan with a table spoon of oil and fry shallots chopped, curry leaves. Top this over the prepared curry for seasoning. Do not skip this step.
  • Serve along with Appam, Ghee rice, Steamed rice, chapati or like so.
