5. Meanwhile, bring some water to the boil in a large shallow pan.
6. Add 750g un-dyed smoked haddock fillet and simmer for 4 minutes, until the fish is just cooked.
7. Lift it out onto a plate and leave until cool enough to handle.
8. Hard-boil 3 eggs for 8 minutes.
9. Flake the fish, discarding any skin and bones.
10. Drain the eggs, cool slightly, then peel and chop.
11. Uncover the rice and remove the bay leaves, cinnamon stick and cardamom pods if you wish to.
12. Gently fork in the fish and the chopped eggs, cover again and return to the heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the fish has heated through.
