Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
Knob of butter
1 large onion, sliced
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp garam masala
350g long grain rice, rinsed well under cold water
700ml vegetable stock
½ bunch of fresh coriander, stalks and leaves chopped separately
250g kippers or smoked mackerel, skin removed, flaked
2 medium free-range eggs
3 tbsp natural yogurt
1 lemon, sliced into wedges, to serve

Method

Heat the oil and butter in a sauté pan, add the onion and soften over a low-medium heat for 10 minutes until just starting to colour. Add the turmeric and garam masala, stir, then cook for 1 minute more.
Stir in the rice, pour over the stock, then season with a little salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add the coriander stalks and flaked kippers or smoked mackerel, stir gently, then cover and return to a low heat for 5 minutes until cooked/warmed through. Taste and season.
Meanwhile, soft-boil the eggs in a pan of boiling water for 6 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon, then peel and slice into quarters. Gently mix the yogurt and coriander leaves into the rice and top with the eggs. Serve with lemon wedges.
