Ducks is breakfast risotto anything like kedgeree? (rice, smoked fish, curry powder, veg etc)

From wiki

Quote:
Kedgeree (or occasionally kitcherie, kitchari or kitchiri) is a dish consisting of flaked fish (usually smoked haddock), boiled rice, eggs and butter. It originated amongst the British colonials in India hence was introduced to the United Kingdom as a popular breakfast dish in Victorian times, part of the then fashionable Anglo-Indian cuisine. During that time, fish was often served for colonial breakfasts so that fish caught in the early morning could be eaten while it was still fresh. It is rarely eaten for breakfast now, but is still a popular dish.

Most recipes now contain curry powder (or just turmeric) and cilantro (leaves of the coriander plant). Sometimes cream or yogurt are stirred into the rice after cooking to make the dish richer. Early recipes however do not usually have these more recent innovations, using parsley instead.

The name is derived from an Indian dish (khichdi in Hindi also known as Pongal in Tamil) made from rice, lentils, onions and spices. Vegetarian and vegan versions of kedgeree exist, based far more closely on the original khichdi recipes using rice and either masoor dal (red lentils) or moong dal (green lentils).

Noooo nononononno....thats like puke material Dana!!

My breakie risotto consists of....

A packet of dried tropical fruit salad pieces chopped up, soak in fresh OJ overnite or for a few hours (heat the OJ if you are doing it for a few hours), then you put the OJ/fruit and a cup of Absorbio rice in a saucepan...bring to boil....add another cup of OJ...simmer until its all absorbed (add a bit more OJ or water if you need to make the rice fluffier)...allow it to cool slightly.....stir through some natural yogurt and devour.

I usually have it with a little yogurt on top with some stewed or fresh fruit....yum yum yum.

Batch usually keep for 4 days in the fridge.

What does my sex life have to do with heating OJ? Oh, wait. You wrote hours. I thought it read minutes.
