Ingredients
Tomato
Pepper
Seasoning
Onion
Broth/water
Vegetable oil


Procedure
Parboil rice for about 5-10 minutes and then wash

Heat oil in a pot and sauté the already sliced/chopped onion until soft, but not browned

Add tomato paste and the already blended pepper on medium heat while stirring for about 3 minutes

Add maggi and any other desired seasoning

Add rice and continue stirring

Add water [ if you aren't using broth] gradually to ensure you don't put excessive quantity of water. Allow to boil.

Reduce heat to medium and allow to cook until almost all of the water/broth has evapourated.

Taste rice to see if it's well cooked- if so, turn off gas and serve, if not add a little more water/broth.

Enjoy!

@Missy ★ B I really doubt if this jollof rice will taste good,

1st you have to cook the pepper mixture for more that 3mins shocked

2ndly, stirring the rice will make it burn embarassed

heres my rendition of your recipe

I did the whole process backwards wink

j/rice in pic 2 looks soggy (as it should since she reversed the process) tongue

After allowing your stew cook for 3 minutes, you add maggi, I didn't say turn off heat. Lol.
''Add maggi'' and Add rice'' are in 2 different paragraphs, which implies both ingredients are not to be ''introduced'' into the pot concurrently.
After adding maggi, the stew has time to cook before rice comes in. Even if you add rice immediately after maggi, it's still ffine as the stew will eventually cook with the rice.
Plus, timing, in cooking, is subjective.

Putting other factors aside and focusing on only the stir factor, the jollof rice will get burnt IF you:
1) Stir once it starts to boil (after adding broth/water i.e) (probably)

      OR
2) Continuously stir while it cooks

After you add your rice to the stew, you can stir as you please, IMMEDIATELY. Before you add water broth.  You should actually stir, to mix the rice with stew.

As for the rice getting burnt, you could reduce your heat.
Add water gradually, not all at once to prevent the rice from being soggy. Rice, just as pasta, is better if al dente.
