    I love kedgeree. This is always a winner. Could make it even more filling with lentils (closer to the original Indian inspiration, khichdi).

    I like cooking the onions then adding the rice to the pot and cooking it with the spices and fish water/oil from the tin, so that it absorbs even more flavour (like a pilaf?), then adding the fish and fresh herbs right at the end. And drained/rinsed tinned brown lentils if I want. It still stays a relatively simple one pot meal.

      Bloody oath. I’ve even made it with mince. I’ve also used the oil from the fish tin to fry the onion. Possibilities are endless.

        Endless possibilities - all of which are so easy and cheap and delicious and not particularly unhealthy. It’s a ripper of a recipe and not hard on the stomach either I find.

        I might try it with mince or herring/kippers and see how it goes.

        Thanks for this!

          If you’re gonna do it with mince cook the mince first then put it aside and add it with the rice. Cooked chicken goes particularly well in this.
