You might want to add a bay leaf and a green chili when you boil the rice.

Yes...

Is that part of the traditional recipe? Because I've never seen that in any of the generic recipes I've read but it sounds nice and I'll definitely be giving it a go!

I much prefer the authentic, invasive taste of haddock. Salmon I find quite bland on its own, but a haddock/salmon 50/50 mix is nice.

[@ianofliverpool7701]

That`s because smoked haddock was the traditional recipe and in my opinion easily the better option flavour wise

Smoked haddock kedgeree is a British recipe that uses some Asian ingredients but it is a British dish

[@Alan_Mac]

@Vishwas Singh They are two different dishes. Kedgeree was first recorded in Scotland in 1790 using smoked haddock.

[@notyourfriend-li7rq]

Its actually an indian dish. The recipe is so obviously indian.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Salmon Khichdi. Interesting.

[@Alan_Mac]

No. It's Kedgeree. It's a British dish.

[@Alan_Mac]

@reshi p The earliest written recipe for Kedgeree is from 1790 in Scotland. Its main ingredients are smoked haddock and boiled eggs. Please do not confuse this British dish with any Indian dishes with similar-sounding names.

[@Alan_Mac]

@reshi p There are two things we know about Kedgeree. Firstly, its key ingredient is smoked haddock and secondly, it is not an Indian dish. We know that the former is true since the oldest recorded recipe for Kedgeree uses smoked haddock and we know that the latter is true because you will never find Kedgeree on any menu in any hotel or restaurant in India. Indeed, you'll never find smoked haddock (or even plain haddock) in any fish market in India because it's a North Atlantic fish. You will, though, find Kedgeree served in hotels and restaurants in the UK (not a particularly common dish but not unusual either) and you'll find smoked haddock in pretty much every British supermarket. In Scotland, where the first written occurrence of Kedgeree is from, smoked haddock is taken to a higher level with such delights as Finnan haddie and Arbroath smokies, both of which I've used to great success as the base for a Kedgeree. So there are actually two dishes. One has a base of lentils and is called khichṛī or Khichdi and is Indian and is pretty common in Indian homes. The other is called Kedgeree and is British and has smoked haddock as its base and isn't unusual in British homes, restaurants and hotels. So just accept that, although they have similar names, they are actually two different dishes from two separate continents.

[@Alan_Mac]

@reshi p The delusional one is the person claiming that a smoked haddock dish is Indian. How empty-headed do you have to be to say that?

[@Alan_Mac]

@reshi p There is no 'Indian version' yet you've tried to argue that a dish that's unavailable in India is, in fact, Indian. Your little head must be full of dal and I pity you. Please leave the internet until you're able to actually hold even one single thought inside your head.

[@somreetachakraborty3259]

Is the rice washed?? Washing the rice before cooking is really important.. it should be mentioned..

[@katwatkins7567]

I noticed that too.

[@BLY99]

No it isn't, there are different kinds of rice and most don't need to be washed, especially Basmati rice.

[@somreetachakraborty3259]

BoLoYu .. Basmati rice needs to be washed to get rid of the surface starch to prevent it from getting clumpy.. The water doesn’t have to run clear.. but it has to be washed.. N FYI please get some knowledge before commenting. Such a waste of time.

[@BLY99]

@@somreetachakraborty3259 No it doesn't, you can easily loosen the grains with a fork. It only needs to be washed when not stored well like happens in India.

[@tysonbrown3082]

It completely depends on where you get your rice. Most western supermarkets sell rice in a plastic packet that is so clean (polished), if you wash it, the water won't even go cloudy, and it has literally no impact on the results. But if you get a giant sack of rice, or if you live in a place that doesn't process rice as much as western producers, then you should probably wash it before cooking because it might not be as clean. It also depends what sort of rice it is, and what you're using it for. Basmati, Jasmine, sticky, etc.

[@dineshapunchihewa1228]

I think it needs more spices. Otherwise the rice will horribly smell of fish

[@parveenkhan2624]

[@afjkarey5366]

i dont know what kind of rice people use bur 1 / 2 ratio never works for me, i always end up with a chunk of sticky dough, which is impossible to clean. i use half as much water as rice and it cooks perfect.

[@magdalenacyman6353]

I made this kedgeree yesterday and it tested horrible! Salmon was undercooked and it was cold by the time the rice was ready. Fish and rice was lack of salt. Lemon zest gave the whole dish afterteste of bitterness. The whole dish smell and tested horrible because of added fish sauce. It all ended up in the bin!

[@ghoulatypical3173]

Sounds like your ingredients and technique was off tbh. I keep my salmon in the oven after the heat is off to keep it warm with foil over the top. And all of that can be fixed by you making your own adjustments to it anyway

@oyinbo peppe Bollocks. Kedgeree was never a posh dish and I, certainly, was eating rice well before the 70s.

[@Alan_Mac]

@oyinbo peppe You are definitely one of the "I don't know about it so it didn't happen" brigade. There were hordes of working class Brits working in India many doing skilled work such as ship and locomotive repairs and you'd find welders, platers, boiler makers etc from the Clyde working on locomotives. You'd also have machinemen working on building railways. My maternal grandfather was a police sergeant in the Punjab from the early 20s to the mid 1930 and a paternal uncle was an electrician/buildings maintenance in Bombay. from the mid 30s to the end of the war. Both developed serious curry habits and my grandfather would often cook mutton curry and rice with home-made chapatis which he'd cook on a griddle usually used for scotch pancakes. He also made kedgeree but with smoked haddock. Even at my secondary school in Glasgow in the 60s we'd have beef curry and rice at least once a month. So 1. upper class only? Not at all and 2. We didn't know how to cook rice? Bollocks. You just had a very insular upbringing.
