Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 carrot, grated
1 small onion, finely sliced
250g cooked basmati rice (from leftovers or from a microwavable pack)
145g tin sustainable kipper fillets in oil

Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, then the cumin seeds. After 30 seconds, add the grated carrot, sliced onion and a pinch of salt, then stir-fry over a high heat for 5-6 minutes until soft and golden-tinged.
Stir in the cooked rice, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add the kipper fillets (and as much of the oil as you fancy), spices and garlic, then cook for 3 minutes until combined and heated through. Stir in the kale and soured cream/yogurt, then season with salt and plenty of black pepper.
Serve on plates with a poached egg on top.
