Equipment

  • Large Saucepan
  • Medium Pot
  • Deep Frying Pan
  • Fine Sieve
  • Sharp Knife
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring Jug

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g SMOKED HADDOCK
  • 300 g BASMATI RICE
  • 4 large EGGS
  • 2 tbsp UNSALTED BUTTER
  • 1 medium ONION
  • 1 tbsp CURRY POWDER
  • 250 ml WHOLE MILK
  • 1 leaf BAY LEAF
  • 1 bunch FRESH PARSLEY
  • 1 whole LEMON

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Place your eggs in the large pot carefully. Do not let them drop or crack. Cover them with two inches of cold water.

Step 2:

  • Turn the stove to high heat now. Bring the water to a rolling boil. This will start the cooking process quickly.

Step 3:

  • Put the fish in a wide pan. Pour the milk over the fish chunks. Add the bay leaf for extra scent.

Step 4:

  • Simmer the fish for five minutes gently. The fish should flake apart very easily. Do not overcook the delicate fish.

Step 5:

  • Remove the fish from the warm milk. Peel away any skin or small bones. Break the fish into large, rustic chunks.

Step 6:

  • Boil the basmati rice in salty water. Cook it until it is just tender. Drain the rice using your fine sieve.

Step 7:

  • Melt the butter in the frying pan. Add the chopped onions to the pan. Cook them until they are very soft.

Step 8:

  • Stir in the mild curry powder now. Cook it for one minute to release oils. This makes the flavor much more intense.

Step 9:

  • Add the cooked rice to the onions. Toss it gently to coat in butter. The rice should turn a bright yellow.

Step 10:

  • Fold in the flaked fish very carefully. You do not want to mash it. Keep the chunks big and visible.

Step 11:

  • Peel and quarter your hard boiled eggs. Place them on top of the rice. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the whole dish.

Notes

Use undyed smoked haddock for natural color.
Rinse the rice well before you boil it.
Add a splash of cream for extra richness.
Do not over-stir the fish into the rice.
Keep the eggs slightly soft if you prefer.
Use a heavy pan to prevent burnt rice.
Always serve the dish while it is steaming.
Fresh lemon juice makes the flavors pop out.
