Duck Curry
Also known as: Curry Duck
Guyanese duck curry with green seasoning and a rich masala sauce, with optional dhal puri alongside.
About Duck Curry
Althea Brown records this Guyanese duck curry from her husband's Aunty Sandy. Pieces of Muscovy duck carry a rich masala sauce and a fresh green seasoning of onion, garlic, scallion, coriander and chilli.
Yellow curry powder, garam masala and roasted cumin provide the dish's warm spice character. Optional achar masala and curry leaves add further aroma to the deeply flavoured duck.
Guyanese dhal puri is one suggested accompaniment. Althea's thin street-style flatbread has a seasoned yellow-split-pea filling, offering a soft, savoury partner for the substantial meat and sauce.
