Many hands that contribute to the cooking

As in

**spreads mat

It's assorted spices.

believe it or not tomato puree - the more you put the better!

The secret is because it is been cook with firewood and before the party rice dried up the down will get burnt. You cant get that flavour when using gas or stove unless firewood my thought

nikkyshyne:
Wish to know this too. I have put everytin putable in my jollof rice. But never like this party jollof rice.

Perhaps it is the kind of pot and the firewood or charcoal

You just mentioned it! Firewood or charcoal! I once worked in a fast food where we resorted to using charcoal when gas was scarce but we found out that the taste of the jollof rice became better, hence we didn't go back to the use of gas for jollof rice even when gas became available!

no beef talks its certainly d fire wood try rice cooked wit gas nd try rice cooked wit fire which one tastes beta

i ve always wondered o, the taste is always different and mmmmm, abeg wats the secret

Its the bayleaf. Try putting some bayleaf in ordinary white rice, you will see that it has that characteristic flavour. Even if u put it in yam porridge....it will still have the jollof rice flavour.

Bayleaf and thyme coupled with water from boiled meat..

Firewood Smoke ni

wasak:
now let us face this issue squarely, offer me party jollof rice and jollof from TFC.I'll gladly pick party jollof Rice.
my mum thinks am appalling because of my excitement at the prospect of eating party jollof rice. I even go to the extent of gate crashing because that taste is just unbeatable.
as wonderful a cook as my mum is, when she ventures into jollof rice, I only eat it to make her happy. Call me anything but I have a lust for party jollof rice, one that beats my lust for women. (no exaggeration)

Mr owanbe I salute o...hope say the party rice wey make you crash nor be burial rice

Foods cooked with firewood are always very sweet

It's the magic of using firewood.

It is one of those things you can't explain!

U never taste my sister 's jollof rice

e better pass party jollof rice

psycologist:
If you dnt have a firewood make sure u perboil ur rice nd saute it till it gets slightly burnt.

That's how I make my jollof rice, yet, it doesn't taste like that of a party.

Like people said, it seems it's the presence of smoke from firewood that makes the difference. . .

I wouldn't know what that is because I normally don't eat at most Parties/weddings.


But whatever the taste is that you all are raving about, I would also attribute some of that taste to the poor hygienic conditions under which most of them are cooked..

odingidiong:
Please help. What is the secret of party jollof rice, because there's this flavour that's always there.

I don't know if it's the magic of bayleaf or curry and thyme... or is there any other thing?

Please help with the secret. Thanks

Stop mistaking concortion for jollof o...perhaps it's corncortioned rice you have been cooking all this while

Nothing but the Smoke from the fire wood

Its because of the many hands involve

You get the best of the bestest

My mom always tell me the secret to a very tasty food is by firewoods. So true. Believe me, there is a huge difference between occasion food and homely made food.

It's d firewood plus d rice burning

Now am craving party jollof rice.....

addition of GINGER and GARLIC to d rice...try it

Op 3Things from my close observations;
1. The taste is slightly different when cooked with hot red coals or firewood compared to cooking jollof on gas stove.
2. The taste of the tomato paste or as is known here as tomato puree.
3. Of all seasoning cubes knorr takes the crown..chicken or beef.The seasonings and herbs and the cook preparing the mix is equally important.

Go through food section,some siatas there are gifted fingers. Cheers.
