Haor Duck Curry

হাওরের হাঁসের মাংস

Rich, spicy duck curry made from free-ranging haor ducks, a winter favourite with chitoi pitha.

Large flocks of ducks are herded across the haors, feeding on snails and fish in the shallow water. Their meat is darker and richer than chicken, and locals cook it slowly with plenty of garlic, ginger and spices. In winter it is often eaten with chitoi pitha or flat rice cakes. Duck eggs from the haor are also sold at bazaars across the region.
