Marinate the duck with tamarind paste, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, black pepper, and vegetable oil for at least 2 hours.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the duck from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off.

Place the duck on the grill, skin side down, and cook for 15-20 minutes until the skin is crispy.

Flip the duck and continue grilling for another 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Baste the duck with the remaining marinade during grilling for added flavor.

Remove the duck from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve the grilled duck with lime juice, coriander, sliced cucumbers, and lettuce.
