Spicy Kedgeree

A quick and easy meal, Kedgeree is derived from the traditional Hindhu dish of Khichri, a simple mixture of spiced rice and lentils. Our kedgeree is flavoured with haddock, spices and hard-boiled eggs. If wished, you can serve it with mango chutney.

1Put the onion in a heavy-based pan with the stock. Bring to the boil, covered, and boil for 5-10 minutes.

2Place the onion, stock, rice and spices into the Rice Cooker and leave to cook.
