Method

  1. Cook the rice: Cut the green tops off the onions and roughly chop them, then roughly chop the white parts. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat and tip in the white onions and the curry powder. Cook for a few minutes until the onions soften, then tip in the rice and stir to coat in the butter. Pour in the hot stock and bring to the boil. Stir once and boil for 5 minutes, then cover the pan with its lid and continue cooking the rice on the lowest possible heat for 15 minutes.
  2. Boil the eggs: While the rice is cooking, bring a small pan of water to simmering point. Lower in the eggs and simmer for 8-9 minutes until softly boiled. Move the pan to the sink and tip off the hot water, then fill the pan with cold water from the tap. Take out the eggs, then shell and roughly chop them.
  3. Finish the dish: Tip the rice into a serving dish, toss in the smoked salmon and the green onions and fork through. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Put the pieces of egg on top and serve.

    I have tried this recipe with smoked mackrel, but found it too overpowering. Taste great with trout though! Also love that this recipe tastes so flavoursome, but at the same time is pretty quick to make.

    I used this recipe when looking for tradional kedgeree so I swapped the salmon for smoked haddock and I also topped it with a poached egg, really tasty one of our midweek favourites as it is quick to prepare

    This is soo easy to cook, although I did add extra curry powder to spice it up. Also used Sea Bass and Prawns which were delicious.

    Very good indeed! useful as it relies heavily on store cupboard ingredients and is ready quickly. Handy when you're stuck.

    I love this, I also make it with smoked haddock and a poached egg on top, and sometimes I'll mix some cream through if I want a richer kedgeree.

    Really lovely. Worth noting that for a veggie alternative you can use roasted aubergine instead of fish, it has a really nice smoky flavour!
