AOF – I certainly will do. I’ve made it with tofu before too but really like your idea of using smoked paprika. Especially since I have a way too large tin of it in the cupboard!

I adore this dish and made it last friday, which turns out to be the day you blogged this, for my parents when I was on a quick trip back to NZ. I love making it for them when I am there because you can get so many different kinds of smoked fish from the supermarket (unlike here in Melbourne). This time I used smoked Hoki but I will make it with kingfish, trout…you name it if it is smokey and fishy I’ll give it a go. I use about twice as much curry powder and slip in some vegetables such as small florets of broccoli, green beans, grated carrot – all sweated away in a little oil with a diced onion. I’ve managed to get the fat content down this time to a tablespoon of vegetable oil to begin with, then a tablespoon of butter at the end to mix all the flavours through.

I’ve even made a vegetarian version with smoked tofu plus a hint of smoked paprika.

Check out my blog for more variations if you are interested.

Susan – Well, they were!

Angela – Thank you so much! Will get to it later in the summer.

Antonia – This is the first time I’d made it in a long time too. Way overdue.

Maninas – Oooh, you’re brave. It’s all too much for me first thing.

I adore kedgeree! Though I often make a much simpler version of only rice, smoked fish, and egg. Fit for a breakkie!

What a delicious version of one of my favourite dishes. I haven’t had it for ages though. I agree that it seems a little much for breakfast – I love it as a supper dish.

“No wonder those Victorians were a chubby lot.” Oh, I love that line and the kedgeree.
