Kedgeree

Ingredients

  • 120g rice
  • 600ml stock
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp English curry powder
  • 1 tsp tumeric
  • 5 curry leaves or 3 bay leaves
  • 2 fillets smoked fish
  • 1 chilli
  • 1 tbps butter
  • 1 lemon sliced into quarters
  • 1/2 cup yoghurt
  • 1 bunch coriander
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Directions

  • Get 600ml of stock to the boil, then add the eggs and set the timer to soft boiled (take eggs out of the stock when they are cooked).
  • In another pan, fry the onion with the curry powder, tumeric and a little oil. After a few minutes, add the garlic.
  • Once the onion is starting to brown, add the rice and stir. As soon as it’s mixed, add in the stock.
  • Keep the rice on medium high and occasionally stir. You might need to add a little water.
  • Once the rice is cooked, add in the seafood and butter. Season after tasting, as the fish might be salty. Serve with lemon wedges and sprinkle coriander on as garnish.
  • Mix the yoghurt, lemon rind and coriander. Serve with rice.

Not the usual brunch fare, but this colonial throwback can also make an easy dinner. Recipe serves two.
