In a pot with hot oil, curry leaves, onion, garlic, the blend of grind seasoning and curry powder is sauteed. After the curry is cooked properly in the oil then the seasoned meat is placed in the pot. It is then cooked to perfection and served with buss- up- shut roti.

                                 CURRIED DUCK

The one dish that every family lime (meeting together) is curried duck. This meat is tougher than chicken hence takes longer to cook so the flavours will develop and meat will be soft. The best tasting curry duck is one that is cooked in a chulha (mud stove with wood). The smoky flavour of cooking in the chulha is very flavourful. Fresh peas in curry duck goes well with white rice.
