Note

For a quicker version, you can substitute the curry oil emulsion by blending 200ml vegetable oil with a tablespoon of curry powder or other spices directly into the roe mixture, though an overnight infusion yields a deeper flavor.

You can use unsmoked cod's roe for a milder, lighter flavor profile if preferred.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
