pocohantas:
You are most welcome. I am glad you loved it, but biko, it is not buka stew. You don’t use vegetable oil in buka stew and you don’t use spices.



Tin tomato in your stew is as useless as the “P” in psychology. Please delete it. If you choose to continue with it, do not use it for this stewing method.



So far as there is oil in the pot and it is exposed to heat, at some point it would begin to FRY. Albeit not as intensely as the frying method. If it remains longer on heat, then the water would evaporate (considerably) and it would fry more. Yes, the sour taste would be eradicated, just patiently allow it boil on medium heat.

Mercychen:
Ok. Your preference. Cool.


Nope. Its not light because it's for commercial use. That's how my Yoruba people cook it.
I grew up on the island. So I know what I'm saying. "Omi obe" is never thick.

Chopchopfine:
A special shout out to *Pocahontas* for sharing this amazing recipe.
I tried it out and I loved it.

Chopchopfine:
Is the food for only Yoruba, we sometimes forget that different people cook it differently. Are there no buka's in other places.
I grew up in Benin City, and our method of cooking sometimes differ but that doesn't mean other people still is not correct.

Odewaleadesoye:
Pocahontas has dedicated a nice food to me when will you do the same?

Honestly speaking, you're doing excellently well my dear.

Keep it up ma'am!

Gracias!

Really ! I thought tin tomato aids in making it reddish ?

pocohantas:
Nah. I don’t use tin tomato. I haven’t used it in almost 4 years now and you would never know. I use a mix of tomatoes, tatashe, shombo and rodo.

When you're good you're good.
Bless up Ma'am!

I'm still finding jollof rice difficult ooo.
It doesn't look like jollof even after all my input and efforts.

You missed the base, no input and effort can salvage that.

Odewaleadesoye:
I will try again tomorrow!

Women and cooking...

Reminds me of Buhari and his infamous quote "My wife belongs to the kitchen".

Gombs:

donhils:
Looks yummy. But I'm afraid it might be slapping. Like sour taste when you eat this

ImoleNaija:
Same here. Almost gave up sef. No matter how hard I try to make jollof rice, it always looks & tastes like a concoction.

Mariangeles:
Poco, olowo sibi.

I still crave the tin tomato stew once in a while, so I’ve not totally eliminated it.

pocohantas:
Crave tin tomato stew? There is nothing like tin tomato stew for me again o. Once I see it, I go dey vex like say I see udara. When I want to cook party jollof, I just buy 2 for that cooking.

Mariangeles:
There was a time when I labeled it a weech, then I came around.
Now I know how to treat its eff up with enough onions. Dem no born im papa well to withstand onions.

Mariangeles:
Jollof rice is more of rice cooked in stew, otherwise, it’ll look pale, and that’s jellof.

TheLasyBuddha:
Frying your tomatoes and pepper reduces the sour taste of the stew and makes it not to appear sloppy on rice. It may look like omi obé.

Sarsaproko:
