Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting the frozen haddock with smoked haddock for a richer taste. If you prefer a vegetarian option, use tofu or chickpeas instead of fish. Adjust the curry powder to your spice preference, and feel free to add vegetables like peas or spinach for extra nutrition. For a twist, explore variations like Souvenir Shrimp Curry or Tuna Curry.
Serving Suggestions
Fish Kedgree is best served warm, garnished with extra chopped parsley for freshness. It pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a refreshing cucumber raita or yogurt sauce, which complements the curry flavors beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, do so gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of cream or water to prevent drying out. Avoid microwaving as it can alter the texture of the fish and rice.
