DUCK ROAST

1 whole duck with the skin
2 or 3 pods of garlic chopped very finely
1 teaspoon chopped ginger
2 teaspoons white pepper
Salt to taste
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon butter or ghee

Wash the duck well. In a big pan or pressure cooker heat the oil and then fry the duck together with the chopped ginger and garlic till it is a light brown. Add the pepper powder, salt, lime juice and 2 or 3 cups of water and cook till the duck is tender. Keep simmering till all the water dries up. Add a tablespoon of butter or ghee and keep on frying on low heat till the duck is nicely roasted and brown all over. (The duck can be roasted in an oven instead of as above if desired). Serve hot or cold with steamed vegetables or mash potato
