Recipe For Ofada Rice

Sorry what is ofada rice and sause is that like rice and stew?

Ofada rice sauce is like the soups our grand parents used to make in the village, where the pepper is ground by hand and palm oil is used. Difficult to make from scratch, but there are a number of business people who actually sell this sauce in 1-5litre bowls.
I tried one called Obe ata dindin, and it was lovely
If you are interested, i can search for the contact number and you can call her (if you are in lagos) and she will deliver to your doorstep,

How do I get rid of the smell of the Ofada rice? The first time we cooked it at home, it stank up the whole house. Someone told my sister we should wash with hot water and salt and today, that's what I did. It was a lot better, because it didn't smell as much, but it still smelled. And I had to wash the thing so many times, more than 10 times, I'm sure. We are just trying to finish what she bought, so it won't go to waste. The rice wahala too much. And I don't know what the craze for it is about. Lagosians and fads!

Hate to burst your bubble, mate. But word on the street has it that ofada rice is even more expensive than foreign rice. Tho, I cannot fathom why 

Are you kidding? It used to be the cheapest food you could lay your hands upon those days. Anyway, things are upside down.


Locally grown Nigerian rice. Short grained, full of stones, usually cooks much faster. I think its grown in the Bendel area.

Does ofada rice smell? I think liftedone has purchased toxic rice.

@4Him, who told you Ofada rice is cheap? Far from it. Like Uchenna said, it's far more expensive than the imported stuff. And the thing stinks to the high heavens when you are cooking it. I seriously need answers here or the rest of the rice will be ending up in the bin. It's not toxic rice . It's been popularised in the Ofada area which is in Ogun State. I think the equivalent was the Ekpoma rice, that's why you referred to the former Bendel state.

@Uchenna, thank you oooooooo! You want to send me and my entire family to heaven. God bless you for being your sister's keeper. 

@Uche, we go attach 'Aluwe' to that your name.

I beg nobody wan tell me how to remove that smell from Ofada rice? I dey wait oooo.

is it the rice we called "rice akpu" in my family.
It clumped together and smelt horrible.
Tufiakwa!!
