Duck Roast is a special dish made for Christmas and New Year. It is also served for lunch or dinner during Kerala Christian marriages.  Duck Roast goes well with appam, puttu, idiyappam, rice, parathas and bread.  It is so delicious that you will start asking for more!  😆

Being an authentic Kerala recipe, I am sending it to the event RCI – Cuisine of Kerala being hosted by dear Jyothsna of Curry Bazaar.
