Curried Salmon Kedgeree

Ok, so I didn't actually make this one. The Mister did, it was so yummy tho I had to share it. I seen similar on the bbc good food website and adapted it.
I was slightly worried about serving my 8 year old daughter  boiled eggs, rice and Salmon in the one bowl. She is one of these kids that likes things the way they are 'supposed' to be, ie. Eggs are for breakfast!!! However,  we try to serve new meals as often as possible and usually after 10 mins of huffing and puffing she gives it a go! As she approached the table I could see her eying up her bowl and I held my breath waiting for the volcano to erupt but no, she simply said " Are the eggs hot?" " Yes M, the eggs are hot". So she sits down and gets stuck in!!!!!! Result!!!!!!!
It is definitely a meal I will be serving again. So here it.............
Ingredients-
Rice- we use brown, can be cooked in advance
Hot smoked salmon
Large onion diced fine
Sliced garlic and ginger
Diced mango
Diced tomato
Yellow and red peppers diced fine
Teaspoon each of fennel/cumin/onion/mustard seeds
Teaspoon each of ground coriander/cumin/garm masala/turmeric
2 heaped teaspoons of Tomoto puree
Soft boiled eggs
Method
Heat oil in a wok and add your whole spices. 
Once they start to pop add your onion, garlic and ginger and sweat it off low. A pinch of salt would work well here to sweeten the onion but as im cooking for kids I don't add any.
Throw in all your diced veg and after a few mins add your ground spices.
Add tomato puree at this stage and then toss in your cooked rice and flake up your salmon. 
Once the rice is hot serve up straight away with a few quarters of soft boiled egg.

My first ever post!!!

So. ..... After months of talking and thinking about writting a blog I have finally got around to it!!!
I loveeeeeeeeeeee cooking and baking! I get huge satisfaction from planning and preparing healthy meals for my family! I have an organised system of meal planning, shopping and preparing meals in advance. So it is extremely frustrating when the tiny people turn their noses up at it! - But that is another story.......
As a family we love to entertain.  Any excuse to gather around family and friends for a big  feast and we will do it!
Im very lucky that the Mister in our house is also a dab hand in the kitchen so there is always a culinary delight not far away!!! Im always taking pics of my food and sending them to friends so now I can just upload them to my blog! 
I really hope you enjoy my posts and maybe even find some of them useful! 
So there you have it, my very first post in my very own blog! !!!
Feeling excited!!!!
