Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a half-full kettle.
Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Cut the tomato into 1cm chunks. Quarter the lemon.
Once the kettle has boiled, pour the water into a large saucepan with ¼ tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
Once cooked, drain in a sieve, then pop it on top of the pan and allow to steam until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, drain the fish pie mix and pat dry with kitchen paper.
Pop the fish onto a medium lined baking tray. Drizzle with a little oil and season with salt and pepper.
Pop the tray on the middle shelf of your oven to cook for 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and set aside.
While the rice and fish are cooking, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.
Once hot, add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 8-10 mins.
Meanwhile, if you'd like to add an egg, boil a half-full kettle. Pour the boiled water into a medium saucepan and bring to the boil.
Boil the eggs (see pantry for amount) for 7-8 mins. Drain and allow to cool. IMPORTANT: Ensure egg whites are fully cooked.
Once the onion is golden, stir in the garlic, curry powder mix and cumin seeds. Fry for 30 secs.
Stir in the tomato chunks along with the vegetable stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Cook until the tomato has slightly softened, 4-5 mins.
Once the tomato has softened, stir in the peas and cooked rice until the rice is coated in the spices and the peas are piping hot, 2-3 mins. Add a good squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
Remove from the heat, then gently fold in the cooked fish and butter (see pantry for amount).
Taste and season with more salt, pepper and lemon juice if needed.
When everything's ready, share the fish kedgeree between your serving bowls.
If you're adding eggs, peel and cut them into quarters and arrange them on top of the kedgeree. Season the eggs with a little salt and pepper.
Serve the yoghurt on the side, as well as any remaining lemon wedges for squeezing over.
