coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

duck

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: turkey

Chicken is a leaner and more affordable protein option.

1

Wash the duck and cut it into pieces, removing excess fat.

2

Chop garlic, broad leaf thyme, and onion; set aside.

3

Grate a piece of ginger and add it to the duck.

4

Mix the chopped herbs and grated ginger with the duck, seasoning it well.

5

Cover the duck and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.

6

Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat.

7

Add a cinnamon stick and whole cumin to the oil to release flavor.

8

Add chopped onion and celery; sauté until the onion is translucent, about 1-2 minutes.

9

Add turmeric, curry powder, garam masala, and duck and goat curry powder to the pot; stir to combine.

10

Add salt to taste and enough water to create a masala; cover and let it cook until the water evaporates and the masala thickens.

11

Add the marinated duck to the pot, incorporating it into the masala.

12

Cover and let the duck cook on low heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

13

After 6 minutes, check on the duck; it should be releasing its own water.

14

Add more water from a kettle to help cook the duck, as it takes longer to become tender.

15

After about 15 minutes, add coconut milk and optional potato to the curry.

16

Cover and let it cook until the duck is tender and the flavors meld.
