Help Estimate Jollof Rice For About 300 Guests by vivixander: 4:33pm On Jan 21, 2016
We're in the midst of organizing an event for about 300 guests, mostly women. We plan to cook only jollof rice and chicken and then give them malt to wash it down. Can seasoned caterers and cooks in the house help me with an estimate of how much rice and other condiments to buy? I realise that prices vary by region but quantities will be the same. We don't have a lot of money so the women will be doing the cooking. God help us so that too many cooks will not spoil the broth. smiley Thanks.

1cup for 1 guest.

That is 1 Congo=10 milk cups

That means you will need 30 congos

However to be on a safer side, add 10 more cups to it

Thanks. What's Congo? How does it compare to mudu? I'm not familiar with Congo as we use mudu in the north. What about the other ingredients?

I don't know about mudu. I have heard of it but never used it. I will ask around

Do you use milk tin for food measurement in the north?

I haven't been in Nigeria for a while now but you should be able to determine that after buying the rice. You could ask the tomato seller too.
