Kedgeree comes from the Hindi word 'khichdi' which denotes a mish-mash of things and is the name for a dish that typically is a bit of mish-mash of stuff. Here is a recipe : http://www.indianfoodforever.com/rajasthan/vegetable-khichdi.html<BR/><BR/>However, there is no single way to do khichdi and is done waay differently as you go across the country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-21396434379541017682007-05-03T12:55:00.000+03:002007-05-03T12:55:00.000+03:00Yes, fermented rice, sometimes with shrimp...you c...Yes, fermented rice, sometimes with shrimp...you can only imagine!

K väidab, et ta on minu kuue kodus oldud kuu jooksul viis kilo juurde võtnud. Ega ma ka just kaotanud pole :) Aga eks me riietume osavalt ning aeg-ajalt proovime natuke liigutada..<BR/><BR/>Jeanne - you're such a cruel woman for shattering his childhood memories!!! LOL! Did you find out what dish did his mum really make?<BR/><BR/>Michelle - please do!<BR/><BR/>Joey - fermented rice??? How does that taste like (we eat fermented cabbage etc here, but cannot imagine how rice would taste like)<BR/><BR/>Alanna - classic home cooking indeed.<BR/><BR/>Lydia - I think I'll try it with smoked salmon one day, too!<BR/><BR/>Mae - your kedgeree looked truly fabulous on the pictures, which partially inspired me to finally make some, too. So thank you!<BR/><BR/>Ivonne - Nigella had a recipe for kedgeree risotto in her 'Feast', but it looked a lot creamier and well, more risotto-like. I like her recipes, though, so I could try that.<BR/><BR/>Freya & Paul - I cannot really imagine eating this for breakfast (too fishy for me:), but it was a great brunch dish.Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-84891979865972679432007-05-01T09:14:00.000+03:002007-05-01T09:14:00.000+03:00Kedgeree is delicious although I've yet to eat it ...Kedgeree is delicious although I've yet to eat it for breakfast (as is traditional). It is much better made with smoked haddock than salmon so I'm glad you managed to get hold of some!

We had smoked snoek (a South African fish rather like angelfish in taste) leftovers and he asked me to make kedgeree like his mom used to make him. So I checked the fridge and said he'd have to pop out and get some eggs as we were out. He looked puzzled and said "but kedgeree doesn't need eggs?". It took many recipe books and Google searches to convince him that kedgeree does in fact need boiled eggs and is a rice-based dish, not a tomato-based dish that his mom used to make. Sad when a man's childhood perceptions are shattered ;-)Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325204219395014329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-27410624638804169822007-04-30T14:49:00.000+03:002007-04-30T14:49:00.000+03:00pille, kuidas sa ometi priskemaks ei lähe selle ho...pille, kuidas sa ometi priskemaks ei lähe selle hobiga? ma kah keedaks ja küpsetaks rohkem, aga terost on vaja ära lihvida üks 15 kilo varasemaid naudinguid, nii et meilon needki vähesed tordihetked kõik kaalunälgijate omad... :D<BR/>Maris L väljamaaltAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-71056030492360064592007-04-30T11:19:00.000+03:002007-04-30T11:19:00.000+03:00Pille, you have inspired me to make my first kedge...Pille, you have inspired me to make my first kedgeree, too.
