Today I made an authentic Kerala style Whole Duck Roast  & this is my Grandmother’s recipe .
In my Home everyone love to eat Duck & I felt this is an easiest way to prepare  a delicious Duck . So lets start cooking :

Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Duck , cleaned

  • For marinating:

  • 2tbsp Coriander Powder
     

  • 1/2tbsp Chilli Powder

  • 1/2tbsp Turmeric Powder

  • 1tbsp Garam Masala

  • 1tbsp Black Pepper Powder

  • Salt

  • To cook duck:

  • Water

  • 2tbsp Ginger , paste

  • 2tbsp Garlic , paste

  • Salt

  • To make gravy:

  • 1 big Onion , sliced thinly

  • Duck Gravy ( saved one )

  • Oil

Directions

  • For marinating:
  • Mix all the ingredients together & rub the spices on top & inside the Duck .
  • Cover the Duck with a plastic wrap & allow the Duck to  marinate inside the fridge for at least 6hrs .
    ( If there is left over rub , just put on the top of the Duck , don’t discard )
  • For cooking duck:
  •  Take a big wide pan & keep the whole Duck into the pan .
  • Add 1 cup of Water ,Ginger & Garlic , & if needed add some Salt too .
  • Cover the pan with a tight lid & cook the Duck on a medium heat .
  • Occasionally turn the Duck , otherwise it will get brown on one side .
    ( If there is no Water in the pan , add some )
  • Cook until the whole Duck is cooked through , it may take 20-25 mins.
  • In the meantime , dice some Potatoes & arrange them on the bottom of the roasting pan .
    ( I used 2 Rustic Potatoes )
  • Remove the Duck from the gravy ( save it ) & place on top of the Potatoes .
  • Place the pan onto the broiler & broil until You get a nice golden brown colour .
  • Carefully turn the Duck & allow  the same .
  • If the Duck is done cooking remove it from the Pan & allow the Potatoes to get cooked in the Duck fat .
  • To make the Gravy :
  • Heat some Oil in a pan & saute the Onions until it turns golden brown colour .
  • Add the Duck gravy & allow it to boil .
  • Remove from the heat & pour into a gravy bowl .

  • Serve the Duck warm with Potatoes & Gravy .

Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!
