Omo ale

I always use Ginger, Crayfish(blended), Garlic and Knor Cube and also let the rice burn a little. It gives out the perfect taste and color of a Nigerian party rice. 100 percent thesame. using butter is an added advantage too.

No matter the effort and the amount of ingredients home made jollof rice will never taste like party jollof rice

Well as for the party jollof rice, you need to cook it with enough ingredients especially spices based on your taste. These are the steps I know:
1. Use meet with little fat and season it overnight (this will make the spices to penetrate the meat for more flavouring) with onions, thyme, maggi, salt and other spices as you choose.
2. In the morning, parboil the rice making sure it heats uniformly.
3. Fry your seasoned meat. After this pour sliced onions in the used oil-heat a little-put grinded fresh tomato and heat intensely. Do not add salt yet for it may cause burning without the tomato getting done.
4. When the tomato turns from deep to light red, mix tin tomato with little water and pour into it stirring well to have a nice mixture.
5. Reduce the heat now and fry gradually. Put grinded ginger, curry, garlic, nutmeg and salt. Be adding little little water as you fry gently to avoid burning.
6. Taste as you fry, if there's no longer sour taste of tomato, know that it has fried wella and secondly the oil and the tomato would have gotten independent by now.
7. Pour grinded pepper and cook for like 1Omins. Add water of the seasoned meat, if not enough to cook the whole rice...add more and cover the pot to boil well.
8. Now get the parboiled rice and be putting into the pot small small, bit by bit. Do not turn it. Once the corners of the pot are boiling, reduce the heat to avoid...you know-burning.
9. Allow the water to sink a bit. Mix the remainig ingredients of grinded crayfish and onions, maggi, salt if necessary in water and smear it on the rice. This method makes ingredients to touch every grain.
1O. When the water goes down to the pot's bottom, turn every every with turning stick. Leave for 3mins and bring it down.
11. Finally your party jollof rice is at this point sending sweet sensation to mostly uninvited guests.


DISCLAIMER: This is what my heroine mum thought me and it has been working wonders as I help family and friends in organising their stuffs. You may also have your method cos cooking is an art full of trial and error but the end justifies the means. Thank you.

datguru: Party and ceremony jollof rice in Nigeria will always have one taste

Other ingredient include: The sweats, too much talk (spit).

The reason I get upset if I don't get Jellof rice in a wedding ceremony no matter how much food I have at home

As in this abi?

MrKnowitall:

I dont get it...does the smoke penetrates the pot and enter into the rice or something? How does

the smoke affect the taste of the rice? Or are you barbequing rice?

u no knw say wood smoke dey contribute to d flavor? Are u a learner?

Joavid: Ginger and garlic- adds to the flavour and taste. (Although,some cooks don't add garlic)

Bay leaf - flavour

Giant tin tomato paste - the colour(red) and flavour

Plus, lots of curry and tyme.

If you want your jellof rice to taste like "party" rice, just make sure you add enough ginger to the fresh pepper and tomatoes,then grind together.
Also, your tomato paste has to be more than enough.
Then, don't be stingy with your curry and tyme.

Over the top ingredients in moderation is "party jellof rice"

You don't need "white maggi" like vedan and all those, knorr is ok.
You don't need firewood also, use your gas cooker.

And some nutmeg too. Ever tried that?

Mogbomoya tinz . Me sef look forward to parties cos of that rice .

Sometimes I get it right, other times na wash. At times I fry the meat and onoin in the oil I intend to use for it but I don't like how the chunks of meat puts black sediments in the finished product so I dont fry the meat anymore. So these are the steps I take...

I fry the onions and harvest them before they dry up.
I put the grinded pepper in the oil and let it fry well.
Along the line, I put the tin tomato paste and seasoning and let every thing fry together for at least 20 minutes.
Once the mixture is drying up, I add the beef or chicken stock and let it fry for another 10 mins or so.
After that, I put in the rice, curry, thyme, bay leaf and water and let it all cook together.
Sometimes it comes out just the way I want.

the secret to the taste of party rice is the pot used in cooking it. I forgotten the type of metal the pots are made from but it contributes to a large extent the way it tastes.

Party rice rocks!!!
