Directions
-
Soak the dried red chiles in hot water for 15 minutes to soften, then drain.
-
In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, distilled white vinegar, garlic cloves, ginger, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. Blend into a smooth, thick paste.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
-
Pat the duck quarters dry and season with salt. Sear the duck skin-side down until golden brown and crispy, then flip and sear the other side. Remove duck and set aside.
-
Reduce heat to medium. Add the chili paste to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and the raw vinegar smell dissipates.
-
Return the duck to the pot, nestling it into the masala. Add water and sugar. Stir well to coat the duck.
-
Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Cook for 60-75 minutes, or until the duck is tender and falling off the bone.
-
Uncover the pot and increase heat slightly to simmer for another 10-15 minutes to thicken the sauce. Adjust salt and sugar to taste.
-
Garnish with minced cilantro or parsley and serve hot with rice or bread.
