11. Coriander powder - 2tsp

12. Garam masala

13. Mustard

14. Green chilli - 3 to 4

15. Oil

16. Salt to taste

Procedure:

                 First marinate the duck with pepper powder, turmeric, salt and chilli powder. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 mints , the longer the marination it will taste more good. Duck curry can be prepared in skillet or cooker. I used cooker for cooking. After marination put the duck into the cooker and let 3-4 whistles go. Keep the cooked duck aside. Lets prepare the gravy now.

                 

                     Cut the shallots and Onions into small length wise slices. Crush the ginger and garlic. Chop the green chilies and tomatoes too. Lightly roast the remaining chilli powder, Turmeric powder and  Coriander powder. Grind this roasted powders to make a paste and leave them aside. Next take a skillet and pour oil. Splutter mustard and add the crushed ginger, garlic, curry leaves and the green chilies and saute for few seconds. Then add the Onions  and after sometime add the shallots. Saute till the onions gets light brown. Add the tomatoes, salt and cook on medium flame. When the gravy boils add the paste that we made. Cook till the gravy gets a thick consistency. Now add the cooked Duck meat  into the gravy. Mix well and allow to simmer on a low heat. Also add the garam masala. Curry is ready.
 If you are adding coconut milk then pour them into the curry on low flame. Simmer it till the gravy thickens. After adding the coconut milk don`t increase the flame, just keep on low flame. Thats it, Duck curry is ready to be served. Hope everyone enjoys this recipe.
