When I make it, it either comes out too soggy or it gets burnt . How do you make the perfect jollof rice?

There are different and fastest methods of preparing jollof rice. My way..

Ok this is how I make mine and it doesn't get burnt in this process.

I first of parboil my rice and keep...

Next I prepare all the necessary ingredients that I'll use in the meal..

Ingredients include: Smoked Fish,meat snail and crayfish.. Tomatoes(Fresh and tin), carrots, bay leaf, maggi, salt, Groundnut oil, Pepper(Dried or Fresh, but I always prefer fresh), Curry and time etc.

I'll season my fish, meat, snail and boil, then I cut my snail into smaller sizes to make my rice look busy.

Then I'll use a bigger pot (because of the many ingredients, and jollof rice needs enough space to cook well, and with that it won't burn so easily)

Pour the already boiled rice into the pot, put the sliced pepper, carrots, tomatoes(fresh and tin), bayleaves(to give it a nice aroma), maggi, curry and thyme, Pour little groundnut oil and water. Stir every together and set to boil.

When the rice is almost soft, add salt to test. That's it.

The major reason I chose this method is because those frying process makes my food burn quickly.

how do you prepare it?
do you parboil first?

alutacontinua:


how do you prepare it?
do you parboil first?

yea, i parboil first, then add the pepper mixture in a pot, let cook for a few minutes then add the rice

D key to preventing the rice from burning is cook it under low heat, immediately the rice starts to boil,i reduce yhe heat and cover the pot with a newspaper. Thus will enable it steam.and would prevent it from getting soggy too just dont overload it with water.

when you mix the rice and stew, add little water....better if the water ain't enough than too much. Mix the rice and stew first, then, your meat-stock. Let the water be on the same level with the rice, or not even up to. Cover and let cook on moderate heat.
