10 out of 10. I bought some smoked cobbler fish and tried this recipe, my husband was not looking forward to this as I had cooked fish about 5 times this week. What a fantastic surprise, the taste was amazing, not like any other Kedgeree recipe I have ever tried. I used frozen corriander as I didn't have any fresh and I used 'Lazy garlic, ginger and chilli' but the end result was brilliant and I will deffinately be cooking this again, and again and again! My husband was well impressed.

After having tried another recipe for kedgeree, I gave a shot at this recipe! I cooked the smoked cod in milk and subsituted the ghee for real butter - (we can't get haddock where I live). My husband's comment was "wow" lovely flavour! "Put this recipe in the weekly box!" :-) I agree, very nice and we can't wait for the leftovers for tomorrow lunch! Thank you for sharing!

My hubby and I absolutely loved this dish! I was looking for a recipe for haddock and found this & am very glad that I did. I made a few minor changes to the recipe as I went along: -poached the fish fillets in milk instead of water -used a teaspoon of grainy mustard instead of mustard seeds -used regular butter instead of ghee -cut down the amount of cilantro since I'm not a huge fan & -added a 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric. It turned out very well & was very easy to make. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for a wonderful recipe :-)
