My maa’s duck curry is the benchmark—she slow-cooks it with *khorisa* (bamboo shoot) and *narikol* (coconut) until the oil separates, no shortcuts. I’ve had people argue that using dried *thekera* over fresh bilimbi is the “right” way, but bhala, let them stand in the Uzan Bazar fish market at 6am and watch the women haggle—then tell me tradition is about the ingredient, not the person holding the ladle.
