Notes
Prepping Bombay duck:
Bombay ducks (8-10 pieces soaked in warm water) (Wash thoroughly 3-4 times.ย If possible try to remove the bone inside the Bombay duck by slicing it in two.ย The bone comes off easily if the Bombay duck is soaked well.ย If not possible continue making the curry as mentioned).
This curry tastes best the next day.ย Best accompaniment for this curry is pulkas.ย It can also be had with rice.
