How to cook it
-
Soak the dried bamboo shoot in warm water for 30 minutes until softened, then drain.
-
Heat the mustard oil in a heavy pot until it just smokes, then let it cool slightly.
-
Add the sliced onion, ginger, garlic and dried red chilies and fry 6 minutes until the onion softens.
-
Add the duck pieces and turmeric and sear over high heat 10 minutes, turning often, until well browned; duck renders a fair amount of its own fat as it sears, which is what carries the flavour of the dish.
-
Add the soaked bamboo shoot, water and salt, and bring to a boil.
-
Cover and simmer 40 minutes, or pressure cook 20 minutes, until the duck is tender and the bamboo shoot has taken on its rich, sharp flavour.
-
Skim any excess fat from the surface if you prefer a lighter gravy, and serve hot with plain rice.
