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.1Reply

Very successful - made as written (including fresh bay leaves from the garden). Excellent recipe and so good to be able to prepare it in advance1Reply

This was excellent. Easy to prepare and addaptable. I used Some river salmon and plaice, left out the Mustard seeds (couldn't find them!) and coriander and chili. But I added a whole large chopped leek and a few mushrooms that wanted using up. Fast and tasty - thank you for a great recipe.1Reply

I made this using fish we had smoked ourselves and subbed fresh curry leaves for the bay leaves. It was pretty simple and as we smoke a lot of fish, I'm sure it will get made again sometime soon.Lots of nice fresh flavours in this, just finished of perfectly with the natural yoghurt.Reply -
