Instructions

Melt the butter in a large pot, and saute the onion, ginger and garlic for about 5 minutes.
Add the curry powder, optional spices, fresh chili and mustard seeds and cook for a few more minutes.
Add the tomatoes, spring onions and lemon juice.and heat through.
Add the rice to the pan and then the fish, breaking it into large flakes as you do. Add in the cilantro, reserving a bit for a garnish. Stir gently to mix everything together and heat through.
Season with salt and fresh black pepper, and taste it to see if you need more lemon juice; rice dishes need lots of seasoning.
Top the kedgeree with the eggs, garnish with more cilantro. Serve with creamy yogurt.
Like so many dishes, kedgeree will only get better hanging out in the fridge if you want to make it ahead.
