Author Notes

Khichari (on which Kedgeree is based) is a lentil rice dish that is quite popular in India, especially with vegetarian Indians, and there are many variations to this dish all around India. The word ‘Kedgeree’ is derived from Khichari, and instead of lentils, fish and eggs are used. When British left India for England, they came up with this dish in their home-land based on the Indian dish Khichari. —Rupen Rao
