Nice, I will try it today.
Will 5k be enough for everything? I stay alone so no much mouth to feed. And can I use any oda fish if I can’t find Titus or horse? They hardly see them in my area

I cooked mine last week with less than 5k and we are a bunch. Ila Alasepo, apart from the fish, should have ede, akan, pọnmọ and iru. It is best if you finish the pot the same day. It's my favorite soup because it's sweet, easy to cook and fast too.

My husband's friend a US returnee came to visit and he asked me what I have. I initially didn't want to offer him cause I just made that particular Ila rush rush, nothing special. I told him, he said I should bring it that it's been long. Na so e chop leak plate o come reward me handsomely afterwards.

He later left Lagos for Abuja, all through his stay, I was sending packaged Ila soup from Lagos to Abuja till he left.

Efo riro is overrated abegi!

So I parboil when I don't want it too starchy and mostly home Jollof rice.
When its party Jollof, I don't parboil. I wash with warm water till the water is clear.

Frying the stew separately helps the tomatoes and pepper to be well fried before adding the rice.
This intensifies the flavour for your Jollof rice than just mixing the blended tomatoes and peppers with rice without frying.

I hope this helps. I have some Jollof rice recipes on my channel too.

Yes, I noticed if the soup stays overnight it losses the initial sweetness. I have cut down my outside eating expenses down very well, I now prefer to eat what I cook than buy takeaway all the time.

chimeremodlyn:
I guess this is your version of cooking okro soup. No soup should involve frying anything. We eat enough fried things already, how can you still fry okro. Besides, frying it would not make it draw very well. We just have to avoid frying when it comes to soup, its not healthy

Mr health counselor,carry your health advised park one side jare

I learned something like this some years ago from a Gambian lady. She adds tomatoes (blended or diced), fries them with the crayfish, pepper, chicken/beef/fish, then the okra and vegetable. Me likey!

Prawns

Prawns are superb with okro

Thank you very much!

But is this same method applicable to "party jollof?"

The thing is:

I would be preparing 1/4 (16 dericas) of rice for a group of people. It's a low budget thing, btw.
