Child’s Kedgeree

I made Kedgeree for the little one yesterday. Well, a mock kedgeree would be more accurate, seeing that I replaced curry powder with paprika. I would have loved to add a little tumeric but I realised that we had none at home. The little girl was enthusiastic about it, tumeric or not, and that’s what counts.
