Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, boiled and halved
- 4 cups cooked basmati rice (jasmine rice will also work)
- 3/4 lb smoked fish, I used salmon. Note: you want hot smoked fish, not cold smoked. Hot smoked fish is sold in chunks. And feel free to use up to a pound of fish for a heartier meal.
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger, feel free to add more to taste
- 1 medium white onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp curry powder
- 1 Tbsp yellow or brown mustard seeds
- 1 tsp ground coriander, optional
- 1 tsp ground cumin, optional
- 1 fresh hot chili, finely sliced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 bunch spring onions, thinly sliced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 handfuls of fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- Salt and fresh pepper to taste
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.
