2 teaspoons curry powder
4 cups cooked rice
4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
2 cups cooked fish, flaked
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Melt butter and stir in curry powder until it’s fragrant. Drizzle lemon juice over flaked fish. Fold in fish and remaining ingredients and heat through. Cool and package for the freezer, allowing 2/3 to 1 cupful per portion. Bonus points: seal each individual portion in a reusable silicone boilable bag.
