This recipe is a lesson in less is more. When I was developing this, I wanted to add extra ingredients, but when it was all done, everything I wanted was there and I couldn't stop eating it.

■ Serves 4 ■ Prep 5 mins ■ Cook 35 mins

2 tbsp curry powder of your choice (I used madras)
 300g basmati rice
 600ml chicken stock
 400g skinless smoked haddock
 100g frozen peas

Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Heat an ovenproof saucepan or flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat and toast the curry powder for 1 min.  Remove from the oven. Leave to rest for 1 min, then stir through the peas while breaking up the haddock and fluffing the rice. Season to taste.
