Ingredients

4 servings
Rice1.5 cups
Butter3 tbsp
Onion1 medium
Ginger1 tbsp
Garlic2 cloves
Turmeric0.5 tsp
Peas0.75 cup
Parsley2 tbsp

Method

1

Cook the rice according to package directions and set aside. Hard-boil the eggs, cool, and peel; cut into halves or quarters.

2

If using raw fish, cook it by poaching, baking, or pan-searing until flaky, then flake into bite-sized pieces. If using canned or pre-cooked fish, drain and flake.

3

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes.

4

Stir in minced ginger and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

5

Add garam masala and turmeric; stir constantly for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

6

Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth; stir to combine and warm through, about 2 minutes.

7

Add the cooked rice, flaked fish, and peas to the sauce; fold gently until everything is well combined and heated through, about 3–4 minutes.

8

Gently fold in the hard-boiled egg pieces so they don't break apart.

9

Transfer to a serving dish or individual plates. Garnish with fresh parsley, lemon zest, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve warm.
