Comfort Food From Abroad: Classic Kedgeree

• 1 stick butter
• 2 large white onions, thinly sliced
• 4 free-range eggs
• 1 cup basmati rice, washed several times until the water is clear
• 1 cup cold water
• 2 bay leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon mild curry powder
• 5 cardamom pods, crushed
• 1 pound 5 ounces un-dyed smoked haddock
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 2 lemons, cut into wedges
• cilantro leaves
• freshly ground black pepper
• mango chutney
• plain yogurt

1. Melt 3 1/2 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan over a low heat.
2. Add the onions, cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes, until soft and translucent.
3. Meanwhile, simmer the eggs for 4 minutes, but allow them to sit in the hot water for 6 minutes.
4. Drain, then run cold water over them until cool.
5. Peel and halve, then set aside.
6. Place the rice in a saucepan with the water, bay leaves and salt.
7. Bring to a boil, clamp on a lid and simmer on the lowest possible heat for 5 minutes.
8. Set aside, keeping the lid on.
9. By the time you're ready to use it, the water will have been absorbed and the grains will be fluffy.
10. Add the spices to the onion and cook for 2 minutes, until they are golden brown.
11. Place the smoked haddock in a pan, skin-side down, and pour in the milk.
12. Simmer very gently for 3-4 minutes, until the thickest part has lost its transparency.
13. Drain, remove the skin and bones, and flake into large chunks.
14. Heat the remaining butter in a large skillet and add the cooked rice and spiced onions.
15. Fold in the flaked haddock, being careful not to break it up too much.
16. Top with the halved boiled eggs.
17. (The kedgeree can be served straight from the pan or arranged on individual plates.)
18. Serve with the lemon wedges, a scattering of cilantro leaves, and a good twist of black pepper.
19. Offer mango chutney and plain yogurt in separate bowls for people to help themselves.
