Kedgeree recipe

Here’s a recipe for kedgeree:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of basmati rice
• 2 cups of water
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of curry powder
• 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups of cooked flaked fish (traditionally smoked haddock, but you can use any firm white fish)
• 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
4. Add the cooked flaked fish to the skillet and gently stir to combine with the spices and onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
5. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and gently toss with the fish mixture until well combined. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped hard-boiled eggs and fresh parsley.
7. Serve the kedgeree hot, garnished with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
