Betutu spice marinade

13g ginger, peeled & chopped
10g fresh turmeric, chopped
20g lesser galangal, (kencur ),chopped

3 bali lime leaves, finely sliced (Kaffir lime leaves can be used)
2 bay leaves (Salam leaf)
Extra lime leaves

Preparation
Take all the ingredients for the Betutu Spice Marinade except for the extra lime leaves and bay leaves and place in pestle and mortar. Pound until the mixture forms a thick paste.Add a splash of vegetable oil to a wok and fry the paste for about 5 minutes to release the aromas and oils. Correct seasoning, add the lime and bay leaves and leave to cool for a couple of minutes.
When cool enough to handle, spread the paste inside the cavity of the duck and cover the outside. Any left over marinade can be put into the cavity of the duck. Use a bamboo skewer to close up the opening of the duck to secure the flavours. Place extra lime and bay leaves around duck and wrap the duck in a banana leaf. Tie the parcel with string. Then place in the top of a steaming pot and steam for 35 minutes.
Transfer the steamed duck to a tray and place in an oven at 180C for another 60 minutes or until cooked through.
Unwrap and serve with Sambal Matah.
