Method

  1. Throw the rice into a large heavy-based saucepan, pour over 700ml/11⁄4 pints water and sprinkle in a good shake of salt. Cover and bring to the boil, then remove the lid and allow all the water to be absorbed - this should take about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover again and allow to steam dry.
  2. Melt half the butter with the oil in a large frying pan. Stir in the curry paste and cook until you start to smell the wonderful aromas.Now add the onion and cook until softened and beginning to brown.
  3. Next throw in your rice and quickly stir to make sure all the buttery juices are absorbed and the rice is heated through. Now mix in the salmon, eggs, spring onions and lime juice. Stir gently, chuck in the herbs along with cubes of the remaining butter and serve in warm bowls.

Getting ahead

Prepare up to a day ahead, keep back the herbs. Tip mixture into an ovenproof dish, dot with knobs of butter. Cool, then cover with foil and keep in the fridge until needed. Half an hour before serving, heat through in the oven, stir in the herbs.

    A great way to make kedgeree without having to poach smoked fish and smell the house out.

    Delicious - I used fresh salmon fillet in mine (not smoked) which was yummy. Didn't have any spring onions though which I'm sure would have made it even better.

    Absolutely loved it! The amount of butter is slightly concerning, however I definitely think that you could get away with using none as there is a lot of oil in the paste. I also used smoked Mackarel in addition to the salmon which made this meal supper satisfying! Full of flavour, filling and easy! Only downside is the fat content.

    I've lost count of how many times I've used this recipe, but it always comes out tasting fantastic. Instead of curry paste, I use garam masala which saves a little on fat content, I think, since I can't bring myself to give up on the butter!

    Really tasty & become a firm family favourite (but no eggs for the kids!). I use less butter & opt for madras or balti paste. Good mid week meal and only one pan to wash up!

    Really enjoyed this! Made a few alterations to the recipe. Used 2tbsp of Madras curry paste and also used a fresh salmon fillet fried on both sides so it is still pink in the middle and falls apart when flaked with a fork. Would definitely cook this again!

    Really tasty - I adapted it a bit and used tinned tuna and added sweetcorn. Hubby doesn't like fish much but he liked this as curry flavour disguised the fish taste!

    Cooked this after tasting the Haddock Kedgeree. I love smoked salmon. This just adds another dimension to a dish thats really wholesome and nice to eat.
