stir over stove until hot If too dry,
add a little milk or water. Kedgeree Is
an Indian dish and is made of the sta
pie foods of India, rice, fish and eggs.

that is lacking in rice. Fish being a
less stimulating food than meat, is a
better food for a hot climate. The
melted butter or "ghee" gives the
needed fatty matter.
