Authentic British Kedgeree Recipe - A Delicious Seafood Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup Basmati rice (Rinsed and drained)
  • 2 cups Water
  • 200 g Smoked haddock fillets (Skinless and boneless)
  • 2 large Eggs (Hard-boiled and chopped)
  • 1 cup Peas (Frozen or fresh)
  • 1 tbsp Butter (For cooking)
  • 1 tbsp Curry powder (Adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (Chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 lemon Juice (To taste)
  • 1 pinch Salt (To taste)
  • 1 pinch Black pepper (To taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Rice

    In a medium pot, combine the rinsed basmati rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender.

    Make sure to rinse the rice well to remove excess starch.
  2. Cook the Haddock

    In another pot, add the smoked haddock fillets and cover with water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.

    Keep the poaching liquid; it can be used for additional flavor.
  3. Mix Ingredients

    Once the haddock is done, remove it from the pot and flake the fish. In the same pot, add butter and curry powder, then stir in the cooked rice, peas, and flaked haddock.

    Use low heat to combine the ingredients without overcooking.
  4. Add Eggs and Season

    Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.

    Taste as you go to achieve your preferred seasoning.
  5. Serve and Garnish

    Serve the kedgeree warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

    Pair with additional lemon wedges for a zesty kick.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Use fresh herbs for added flavor. Adjust the curry powder according to your spice preference. Serve with a side of lemon wedges for extra zest.
