Instructions:

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil, then add the rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
2. In a separate skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent.
3. Stir in the curry powder, ground turmeric, ground cumin, and ground coriander, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add the flaked smoked fish to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until heated through.
5. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the spiced fish mixture. Gently toss everything together until well combined.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the kedgeree hot, garnished with quartered hard-boiled eggs and fresh cilantro or parsley.
