The dish showcases golden-brown potatoes and caramelized onions, littered with flakes of richly spiced mackerel. A vibrant blend of green coriander and red chili peppers on top, a soft-boiled egg nestles in the middle, its golden yolk poised to burst.

A little about this dish

Here, we're blending the protein-rich nature of Mackerel with the flavors of Indian spices for a hearty brunch. The key ingredient, of course, is the rich and oily Mackerel, elevated with a blend of seasonal vegetables and spices like cumin, turmeric and ginger.

Ingredients (for 4)

Whole mackerel — 2 — filleted and deboned
Medium russet potatoes — 4 — cubed
Large onion — 1 — diced
Green chilies — 2 — finely chopped
Ginger — 1 inch — grated
Turmeric — 2 tsp
Cumin seeds — 2 tsp
Eggs — 4
Fresh coriander — 1 bunch — finely chopped
Salt and pepper — to taste
Canola oil — 2 Tbsp

Preparation

Step 1 — 🔥🍳🌰

Heat 1 Tbsp of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the cumin seeds and toast until they start to pop.
Step 2 — 🧅🥔🌶️

Add in the diced onions, cubed potatoes, grated ginger, green chilies and spices. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the potatoes have a slight golden color.
Step 3 — 🐟🧂🌑

Add in the mackerel fillets and gently stir until they're well coated with the spices and start to flake. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 4 — 🥚💧🍳

Simultaneously, in a separate saucepan, bring water to a gentle boil and cook your eggs for about 6-7 minutes for a gooey center. Drain, peel and set aside.
Step 5 — 🌿🥚🍲

Sprinkle the hash with freshly chopped coriander and slightly nestle the peeled eggs within the hash.
Step 6 — 💁‍♀️🍲🔥

Serve hot.

A final fox tip

For a vegan version, swap out the mackerel for a hearty vegetable, like grilled eggplant or mushrooms. Instead of a boiled egg, add a dollop of coconut yogurt for creaminess. For the kids, make the dish less spicy by reducing the amount of chilies.
