I absolutely love Kedgeree. As you say there are loads of different recipes, but the essentials are the same.
The combination of curry spices with smoked fish and ever so soft hard boiled eggs, work really well even though it sounds like it shouldn't.
I'll give your recipe a try too.
Thanks. Come back and let us know how you get on.
Delicious looking dish! My cooking skills leave a lot to be desired, but I'll try my hand at this recipe.
Thanks Tim. It'll be interesting to know how you like the recipe. The nice thing about the recipe is it's completely adaptable to suit all tastes.
I would love to know how you get on. Happy tasting!
I've never heard of Kedgeree. I don't know if I would like it by looking at the recipe. I would have to try it first.
I'm not crazy about fish recipes. I like my fish alone-broiled, with steamed vegies on the side.
Thanks Lisa. Kedgeree is of Indian origin and is well known in the UK. Unfortunately fish seems to be an acquired taste and although it's amazingly good for you, fish is something you either like or you hate.
The lovely thing about kedgeree is that you don't even know you're eating fish. It's made with herbs that disguise the fish taste. I'm sure you'd like it Lisa. It's worth giving it a try.
I always used to tell my children, "you won't know unless you try and if you try, you'll know whether you like it." I still stick by that motto today.
