Kedgeree also known as kitcherie or kitchiri is usually made of flaked fish, rice and parsley. It is an Indian dish that was adapted by the British. It was initially prepared to make use of leftovers until it eventually became a dish in itself.  It is a perfect meal for a lazy day, but it can impress guests as well. It is also a good idea to whip up a dish made of shrimp to compliment it.

500g salmon or cod fillet, sliced into cubes
