👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Prepare the duruka by trimming off the outer sheath and cutting into 2-inch pieces. If using fresh duruka, blanch it in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain.
- 2
Heat coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped red chili (if using). Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
- 5
Add the prepared duruka to the pot and stir to coat with the spice mixture.
- 6
Pour in the coconut milk and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the duruka is tender. Stir occasionally.
- 7
Season with salt to taste. If the curry is too thick, add a little more water. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. This curry is excellent served with steamed rice or boiled cassava.
