Kedgeree with Cauliflower & Spices

Blanch the cauliflower in boiling water for 5 minutes. Lift out and drain on kitchen paper. Add the rice to the water and cook gently for 20 minutes until tender. In a separate pan, lower the eggs into gently simmering water and cook for 7 minutes, drain.

Heat half the oil in a frying pan and fry the onions and leaves for six to eight minutes. Remove and keep warm. Add the remaining oil and the cauliflower to the pan and cook for five minutes, stirring until starting to colour. Lightly drain the rice and add to the pan with the paste, cardamom and peas. Grate in the coconut and cook for three to five minutes.

Shell the eggs and roughly break them up in a bowl. Spoon the kedgeree onto serving plates and top with the eggs, onions and curry leaves to serve.
