    Here’s a tip for added smokiness… hot charcoals/woodchips in a small cup, put it on top of the food and cover it. This technique is used for Thai desserts (but we use dessert candles) and กุรุหม่า kuruma (basically Thai/Indian korma)
    Also, you can add some fat to the charcoal so it smokes more. Like melted butter or oil

So last time I cooked rice and stew I forgot to put oil and my children have not forgotten that. We laugh about it. So this has pretty much erased that and put me on major higher pedestal.

    12:10 you have to sacrifice some rice to the gods of jollof otherwise you are not ready to eat, very apt. I follow your recipe and to minimise burning, I put in a roasting tin, covered with foil and roasted for 30 min, 180 degrees C. And yes, I did have to sacrifice some of the smokiness in order to minimise waste. Subscribed.

We finished a whole pot of rice in two days. I used my air fryer cause the oven was taking a long time overall this rice is a 10/10

    Maybe to prevent the burn issue and be able to enjoy the burnt layer as well, you could try a Persian and Bangladeshi technique: place a layer of sliced potato at the bottom of a pot and after frying the rice, layer it on top of the potato and add water. The Persians call it Tahdig and the potato crisps up incredibly and the rice steams through on its own. It’s cheap enough to burn a potato or two as opposed to a bottom layer of basmati rice. And you can eat the potato afterward too!

      @Meko Michelle Not to sound condescending, but Im speaking to you on a higher level of consciousness that many people in our community (who aren't actively studying other cultures) won't understand.
      The truth be told, Nigerians (and Africans/Caribbeans in general) do NOT view Black Americans as their brethren, they view us as ENEMIES because of their culture of tribalism....hence why so many of them call us "Akatas", and actively come to the United States intentionally trying to UNDERMINE us and our reparations claim, and assist our oppressors (until they inevitably turn on them)
      So when you say "we were robbed from our roots", I will just say YOU HAVE YOUR OWN CULTURE!!!
      Black Americans have their own culture (despite what AFRICANS say), we have our own food, lingo, music, struggles, history etc and never forget that.
      That being said, Nigerian food is pretty good, they definitely know how to throw down in the kitchen I'll give them their props.....but leave it at THAT

    I tried this recipe yesterday which was salah and all I can say is wooooow😂😂❤️❤️. Fine I can cook and I’ve cooked Jollof rice that tasted like party Jollof but I was just lucky because even me I was shocked but following your steps I achieved exactly that taste and aroma. I didn’t even have any bay leaf or garlic and ginger and thank God I don’t even like garlic or ginger. Plus I blended my pepper without water, the tomato served As my water so it was thick enough and I didn’t need roasting. My bf kept on telling me how delicious it was😭❤️❤️ and even me was proud of myself. I was literally feeling untop of the world. Thank you sooooo much ❤️❤️

    Though I haven't tried this roasting of peppers yet but even just following your recipe whilst using normal blended peppers has made my jollof rice taste so much better. Thank you!

    This looks amazing and I can't wait to try it. Being from the Bahamas I see a lot of similarity in some techniques properly made Peas n Rice, I wonder if the roots of that dish are from Nigeria. Subscribed!

    After watching this video I made this jollof rice at home and it came out perfectly well, it had the taste of PARTY JOLLOF omg. Everyone enjoyed it and I used the fry pan method for the pepper and tomatoes it was perfect. Thank you so much ❤❤

      That’s great to hear!! I will try it today for my brother’s party. Could you help me with the rice measurement? What are cups in grams? We rarely use cups here.

    As a male diaspora student, I beg you make an easier way of cooking jollof rice. This process look like a big work.
