How to Make Asian Spiced Salmon Kedgeree Nigella Lawson

Cook the rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
While the rice cooks, heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and saute for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the peas and green chilies and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the cooked salmon (flaked or chopped), and gently stir to combine with the spice mixture.
Stir in the cooked rice and the chopped cilantro.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
If using eggs: In a separate pan, gently fry the eggs to your liking. Poached or soft boiled work well.
