Instructions:
The yogurt marinade in this dish locks in moisture and lends a complementary spicy flavor.
The duck is skinned before cooking to reduce fat.
With a sharp knife or poultry shears, remove backbone and wing tips from duck and cut the duck into 4 serving pieces.
Cut away the skin and fat.
In a shallow, non aluminum dish, mix together yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, paprika, 1 tsp.
salt, cardamom and cayenne pepper.
Add the duck pieces, turning to coat well and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
About 1/2 hour before serving, in a medium-sized saucepan, heat oil over medium heat.
Add onions and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until translucent and lightly browned.
Rinse lentils well and add them to the saucepan with turmeric, remaining 1/2 tsp.
salt, black pepper and 2 1/2 cups water.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or just until lentils are tender.
Cover and set aside.
Meanwhile, prepare a charcoal grill or preheat the broiler.
Remove the duck from the marinade (reserve marinade) and grill on a lightly oiled rack or broil on a rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet.
Grill or broil for 5 to 7 minutes on one side, or until browned.
Turn, baste once with reserved marinade and discard marinade.
Cook 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
just before serving, briefly reheat the lentils and serve with the duck.
