Directions

1

To make the sauce, fry the shallots, ginger, garlic, chillies, cinnamon and salt in the oil until fragrant.
2

Add the coconut cream from the top of the coconut milk and boil until the coconut looks like it has curdled.
3

Add the cardamom and rempah paste and fry until fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Add the palm sugar and remaining coconut milk. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes.
5

To braise the duck, preheat the oven to 220°C.

Place the marylands in a baking tray and pour over the stock. Cover with foil and braise in the oven for 1 hour or until the meat starts to come away from the bone.

While the marylands are cooking, place the golden shallots on a tray and roast until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove the marylands from the stock and place into a pan with the hot curry sauce.
