Other Names Duck Curry. Duck Stew. Duck Kuzhambu. Duck Meat in Indian way. Vaathu Kari Kuzhambu. Tharavu Milagoottal.

Duck or goose meat is much gamier is taste. However, it shouldnt stop you from exploring(just in case, if you haven’t tasted it, yet)…I better warn you, one could get quite addicted to it very easily. Yep, it super delicious. Yumm to the core. It is prepared in many different ways.But, I personally like Thai style curry preparations and American whole roasted duck! Sometimes, you like them in your own way…yeah, the way your mommy dished it…when you were kid! So today, here I present the old fashioned way! This curry is best to go with steamed rice! No offence one could take it with Idly or Dosa too!
