Kedgeree

Kedgeree is usually thought of as a breakfast dish but for those evenings when you get back late and want a warming meal but don't want to wait too long, this is perfect.

  • 100g rice
  • 1 boiled egg
  • smoked fish - (vacuum packed smoked mackerel from the supermarket is very good)
  • handful of frozen peas
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala
  • 1/4 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp crushed dried chilli flakes
  • 100g natural yoghurt
  • 1/2 tsp cornflour
  • Knob of butter/flora


  • Cook the rice according to the instructions on the packet, drain and set aside to dry off but keep it warm
  • Boil the egg, when cooked, cool it in cold water then peel and roughly chop.
  • Whilst the rice & the egg are cooking melt the butter over a low heat and cook the onions and spices
  • Flake the fish into the butter onions and spices & add the peas
  • Put a little of the yoghurt into a cup and stir in the cornflour till it is all combined, then add the rest and stir it into the onions and fish.
  • Stir the fish mixture and the chopped eggs into the rice and serve.

You can use more of the spices according to your taste - I have to confess that I use a lot more than the amounts specified.  If you want to make more of this, it is a simple matter to double up the amounts.
