Ingredients

• Duck breast - 2 pieces (approximately 200g each)
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ginger paste - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic paste - 1 teaspoon
• Ghee - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels and score the skin in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat.
2. In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger paste, and garlic paste to create a marinade.
3. Rub the marinade evenly over the duck breasts, ensuring it gets into the scored skin. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
5. In an oven-safe skillet, heat ghee over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin side down into the skillet and sear for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
6. Flip the duck breasts and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for an additional 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is achieved.
7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the duck breasts rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro and enjoy your Paleo Indian Roasted Duck Breast.
