Preparation
Melt the butter in a large pan and gently fry the shallots until soft. Add the ginger and chilli and fry until aromatic, then stir through the curry powder and a pinch of salt
Add the rice to the pan and mix well, then pour in the water and bring up to the boil. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low, leaving to simmer for 10 minutes. After this time add the peas to the pan, stir briskly to combine and replace the lid for a further 3 minutes - you might want to add a splash more water to the pan at this stage
Meanwhile, boil the eggs for 7 minutes, then drain and cover in fresh cold water. Once cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and slice them in half
Remove the skin from the mackerel fillets and flake into chunks with a fork. Set aside until required
Once the rice has absorbed all the liquid remove the lid and stir through the mackerel, eggs, parsley, coriander and lemon juice. Divide between bowls, season with fresh pepper and garnish with the chopped chives
