Add rinsed basmati rice to large saucepan. When fish is cooked, scoop out and set aside. Remove bay leaves and carefully pour the fish stock over the rice. Stir thoroughly, bring to boil, reduce heat and cover. Cook for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, take the pan used to cook fish and heat to medium. Add the sunflower oil, then butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and sweat for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and chopped chilli, and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the curry powder, and cook through for a further 2-3 minutes.

Once rice is cooked, leave for a further 2-3 mins. Turn pan on to medium low heat, stir the rice, then add the spiced onion mix ensuring that it is mixed thoroughly. The colour of the curry power should be very apparent.
Add the defrosted garden peas and mix thoroughly. Next, gently flake the smoked fish into the pan and stir through.

Carefully break eggs into ramekins, then gently tip the eggs into the water. Cover with lid and simmer for 3-4 minutes. You can carefully lift an egg with a slotted spoon and press gently to see if the egg white is firmer to the touch. My preference is for a runny yolk.
