kedgeree

/ˈkɛdʒəˌri/

Kedgeree is a traditional British dish whose roots go back to colonial India. Mainly served at breakfast, kedgeree is made from rice, eggs, smoked fish, and curry powder.

Kedgeree evolved from a well-known Indian dish called kitchari or khichdi, a mixture of rice and lentils flavored with toasted spices. During colonial rule the British adapted kitchari using some of their own familiar ingredients, including smoked fish, eggs, and cream. A 1790 cook book included a recipe for kedgeree, the first known printed reference to the dish.
