👩‍🍳 How to make Duck Egg Breakfast

Make scrambled duck eggs (10 mins, medium heat): Heat mustard oil in a pan until it begins to smoke slightly. Add onion and chilli — sauté 2 minutes until softened. Beat duck eggs with turmeric and salt. Pour into pan. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon, folding the curds over as they set — cook to a creamy, just-set scramble (avoid dry, rubbery eggs). Finish with fresh coriander.

📖 Cultural notes

Duck rearing is integral to rural Assamese life — ducks are kept in paddy fields to eat insects, and their rich, flavourful eggs are prized for their deep orange yolks and superior taste compared to chicken eggs. ---
