Ingredients
  

  • 11/2 cup basmati rice
  • 3 cup water
  • 1 lb smoked haddock or other smoked fish (salmon, trout)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter or oil
  • 11/2 tbsp curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the basmati rice in cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and all the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
  • In a separate pan, gently poach the smoked haddock in milk over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. Remove the fish from the milk, and set aside to cool. Once cooled, flake the fish into bite-sized pieces, removing any bones.
  • In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the butter or oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the curry powder and turmeric, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the onions and spices, and gently mix everything together. Fold in the flaked fish and chopped hard-boiled eggs, along with the frozen peas if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a few more minutes, until everything is heated through.
  • Transfer the kedgeree to a serving dish, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately, and enjoy your British-Indian fusion meal.
