Kedgeree for breakfast – Kedgeree ao pequeno-almoço

O Kedgeree é um prato nacional britânico, com origem no kitchari indiano. Prepara-se com peixe defumado (geralmente hadoque, semelhante ao bacalhau), arroz de caril, ervilhas e ovos cozidos.

A opinião geral é que este prato foi trazido para o Reino Unido pelos colónos britânicos durante a era vitoriana, quando a cozinha anglo-indiana ficou na moda.

Naquela época era servido ao pequeno-almoço.

"Kedgeree is a traditional English dish comprised of curried rice with smoked fish, green peas and boiled eggs. Kedgeree is thought to have originated with the Indian rice-and-bean dish Khichuri, traced back to 1340 or earlier.

It is widely believed that the dish was brought to the United Kingdom by returning British colonials who had enjoyed it in India and introduced it to the UK as a breakfast dish in Victorian times, part of the fashionable Anglo-Indian cuisine."  Wikipedia
