Curry in Burmese is called sipyan which literally means ‘oil returns’, a sign when the gravy is ready. Although a curry, very little spices are used, instead the flavour is created by caramelising the onion, garlic and chilli paste. Duck and potato are my favourite combination but equally great with chicken or just vegetables. * Serves: 2 * Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins * For more Burmese recipes, visit
