Thai Red Curry with Duck and Lychee
Print Recipe
We were amazed with how the lychee gives the whole dish a different taste altogether. The sweetness of the lychee brings a twist to the taste and is certainly a very unique way of distracting you from the spiciness of the red curry. For a healthier option, you can substitute coconut milk with either evaporated milk or yoghurt.

Pour in coconut milk, Chicken Stock or Water, Lychee and stir well. Taste and if require, add salt, fish sauce and brown sugar. Let the curry simmer while you pan sear the duck.
