ANSWERS 2 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1• Can you make a smaller version? Answer •• YES 👉🏽th-cam.com/video/SYTvrZvTUOM/w-d-xo.html 2• Why did you wash the rice with salt? Answer•• This is a practice I picked from my grandma, and for real I find it to help remove some of the surface starch and prevent clumping. Parboiling the rice until it is al’dente is one known way to remove starch from rice but except you’ve done that a couple of times and mastered how fast it takes to get to that point, you may overcook the rice hence I find this method ( washing with salt and warm water ) easier to achieve the goal. TIP** Cosher salt will do a better job than the fine salt. 3•• WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR BLENDER FROM AND WHAT IS THE BRAND? Answer•• The name of the blender is called AAOBOSI , and I bought it from amazon. The last time I checked, this item www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4N9X4R/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_api_fab_iguDFbQM0MMS8 is no longer available but I’m sure you’ll find something similar. 4•• WHERE CAN I GET THAT POT? Answer•• I bought the pot from restaurant depot. You can check the pot section of any Asian Store as well. It’s called a pit pot. Here’s a link www.amazon.com/dp/B00164SID0/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_api_fab_DLhGFbPMXD8WT 5•• WHY DID YOU COVER THE RICE WITH FOIL PAPER Answer•• I did that to help retain steam in the pot. The steam helps to cook the rice without adding much water. 6••DOES ADDING BUTTER TO THE RICE CHANGE THE TASTE? AND IS IT DETECTABLE? Answer•• It doesn't change the taste and it's not detectable in a bad way , it adds a rich taste to the rice and then again It gives it some shine. 7••• PLEASE WHERE CAN I FIND THE DESCRIPTION BOX? Answer•• Click on the topic of this video. ( how to cook jollof rice for a get together) a page will open up underneath it. That’s the description box area. You’ll find the recipe for this jollof rice there. 8••• WHAT TYPE OF RICE DID YOU USE? ANSWER.. I used the long grain parboiled rice for this recipe. Most of every other questions was answered in the video. I’m sure if you watch again with full attention you’ll find the answer to your question. :)
Thank you so much for showing me how to cook jolof rice perfectly. I am Zimbabwean and have loved jolof for 18yrs but never thought I could ever cook. My first attempt before giving up was 2011. My son was 2yrs at the time. After cooking dinner, I called him to come and eat. When he got to the table and looked at it, he said, "Mom,it doesn't look righr", and wouldn't eat it. I knew ge qA right because I had tasted it as well and it didn't taste anything like what we had eaten at our Nigerian friends.But guess what? I did it all thanks to you. My Nigerian friends say its so good and can't believe I cooked it all by myself . I cooked 18 cups like you did and now my freezer is packed full and I don't see myself cooking again until end of January as its only my 11 year old son and myself. I am so proud of myself. You are a great teacher. Thank you
I am actually trying you grilled fish with riped plantain for dinner today. Concerning the jollof, at what stage would you have added the reserved sauce
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy we did it sissy, we hit 1M view, nobody deserves it more than you mama, you have a pure heart and God will continue to bless you my Twin. I love you soooooo much😘✌🏽❤️
Sweet Adjeley Awwwwww! 💃🏻💃🏻thank you so much my sister! You have been a true support system. God bless you my beautiful sister with the purest ♥️! I love youuuuuuuuuuuuu
I am from Mauritius and my ex-boyfriend was Nigerian. I learnt how to make jollof rice and stew for him, him and his friends would always love it and tell me how I am already part of them now. Nigerians and food, a freaking love story. Can’t wait to visit someday 🥰
You're so joyful and your singing and praising yourself towards the end reminded me of how my mum celebrated her cooking which was always amazing. Thank you!
As a chef, I feel very proud of you, dear Joyful cook. Your starting presentation of ingredients required for your recipe was very professional. You can teach, lecture student would-be-chefs accurately. Secondly, the manner you always owed up to your mistakes or error in the course of executing your recipe, cooking depicts grave humility and professionalism. I love and respect you for this. Many never acknowledge the slightest of errors or mistakes Thirdly, the manner in which you added humour and some entertainment entertainment made the viewing experience enjoyable Finally, your recipe execution was excellent! Keep up the good work, Joyful! I love you! You are the real definition of beauty and brains in a woman and a mother! Jerry Nwaokolo Chef Delarosa 21:25
This is 2023 and I followed her recipe to cook Jollof on Christmas Day and this is the first time I got it right!😭 my mom admits that this is the best Jollof she has eaten! Thank you so much!❤❤❤
The rice at the end looked so good I am crying 😭 over here. I come back to this video and watch every now and then, it’s so delicious looking! I love how it all comes together.
I haven't cooked jollof rice in years because i wasn't confident with it so we usually ordered from a caterer. I watched this recipe yesterday and tried it today.. OMG!!!!!!. Son: wow jollof rice, who cooked it? Mum: I did (with pride 😁) Even my husband did a double take when he looked on the cooker 🤣😅. Son: This is very nice, it tastes like you ordered it. Mum *smiles* Thank you very much for this recipe. I will be coming here often for more 💖🎈😘
British Pakistani here. It’s amazing how similar our cultures cook rice. I’ve made and tried jollof - it’s amazing! I may add a little south Asian twist the next time I make it by adding more chilli😅. It’s amazing. Gonna make it again soon!!
😂😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s the way she was moving for me. This was second nature to her. No long ting, she didn’t talk to much, everything she said made sense. I clicked for a good recipe but I subscribed because her humour was everything 💕💕💕💕
I enjoyed this! I’m dating a Nigerian and I love being able to embrace his culture to include the food, we love to eat lol 😂 between his Nigerian culture and my West Indian culture we eat good 🤗
Thank you so much for this recipe! I've made it more than a few times for my family, and they love it! My dad's nigerian and he always eats a lot and praises it. I really appreciate this because it puts smiles on my family's faces and helps me connect with my nigerian roots :)
I'm Ghanaian and I will be using some your tips like using the red bell pepper, shallots, the heavy hand of thyme, clove powder and the onion, tomatoes & butter at the end!!! Look delicious 😋😍👌
I like the way you generously added season cubes. I sometimes watch some cooking videos where the person cooking will add just one cube and I am sure they will add more with the camera away because I know for the quantity of food they are cooking one cube will not be enough but they dont want to add more cos of what people will say. Thank you for being real.
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +2348122050178) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you..
There's nothing wrong frying the tomato puree before adding the chopped shallots, it gives the puree more test that way so both ways work very well for me. Lovely video very well done and your voice was loud enough to hear what you are saying.👌
Just learned something new today washing rice with salt, is there a reason for that? And I also realized that lots of Nigerians cook with red bell peppers any special reasons? thanks
Thank you! Till I now I only watched Ghanaian video's and recipes, but today I received my DNA results and I'm 46% Nigerian, so now I want to know everything about my heritage🥰
Sis. This is one of the best jollof vids. No one mentions that you have to fry till it is not tangy, no mention of reducing the stew till it thickens. This makes the difference between good jollof and just jollof. Thank you so much for sharing. Awesome vid.
I loved this! Interesting thing is this is not any different from how Ghanaian Jollof is made, so I can never make any sense of why we've had these jollof wars for years. Thanks for this!
Believe me the jollof rice(Benechin) from Senegambia is tastefully different from the bland fare imitations from other nations on the West African coast
Yea so true but Ghanaians use perfume rice. That rice alone is yummy. I am Nigerian married to ghanian and i cook both rice same way. Honestly Ghana jollof with the help of the rice takes the crown
The difference between ghanaian jollof rice and Nigeria jollof rice is, Nigerians use to add butter to their jollof and is also Nigeria they have party jollof and original jollof anyway
I’m telling you... I like how she says “I made a big mistake guys.” She made the video like it’s just one of those days when you do your cooking void of cameras.
YaGirl Malasia Have you visted all parts of Haiti to make that assumption? I can answer for you no. There are different ways to cook. You can go to Gonaives,Okap,Port au Prince, Port salut,delmas, Les cayes, Jacmel and various of other locations and you can see they cook different but the concept is there. My mom makes her legume very different
I love how you stated the exact quantity of ingredients used here. I am a first timer to your channel here and that singular act made me interested. I'm glad I did watch to the end. Thanks for sharing ma'am.God bless you
No doubt that the delicious rice dishes we eat in the different countries of Latin America originally came from Africa, and then some things were added by the Spaniards and the indigenous people. Delicious!!!! 8 had never seen the preparation of an authentic African dish. Thank you for showing and explaining it so well.
I made this exactly the way you showed it! This came out AMAZING! None of my previous jollofs came out as good as this one. Thank you so much for this👍
I must admit it love everything step of it from her personality her presentation and humility I’m definitely trying this out and a just hit the subscribe button for more of her great recipes My husband is Nigerian am definitely cooking this for him
Gosh!!!! This jollof rice is perfect!!!! 😍😍😍 When she said "so now let's taste it" and was picking the rice off the spatula, I was blowing air on my phone to cool it off 🤣🤣🤣
🥰🥰🥰🥰I can't express how happy and how much I love this video right now, I like when you showed the cup you use and not just saying 18 cups, and also all other ingredients. I love the detailed explanation. " I use two bell peppers for every 4 cups"😍 I love this. I have been looking for a video like this
I am not Nigerian but I love Jollof 🫣. Every time I want to make Jollof rice I come back here🥲🙏🏾 This time am back, I want to make it for my family this Christmas 🥰 thanks your video helps ❤️🇮🇪
Thank You so much. I followed your instructions to the T, and my jollof finally came out perfect. I have tried 5 other methods and it didnt work, yours was the best. New subbie.
I love your sincerity when you make a mistake you admit to it I love that, I have party coming next week so will follow all the step you took in this video
Oh my goodness someone who cuts a bell pepper the way that I do! I can't stand wasting the cuttings of vegetables when they are perfectly edible. So glad you do this!
I dont comment on food tutorial on TH-cam channel , but you gat my attention , I love the fact you realize your mistake so easy and still say it , some will cut it out . YOURE LOVELY
I feel soooo happy to have finally seen someone cooking just like my beloved mum used to. "God bless her soul" congrats to you Cynthia. You are the best I have seen from Africa. I promised to watch and follow you when & wherever your cooking goes. Baba (Senegal)🇸🇳 🇸🇳
My mom traveled to Nigeria for 2 weeks. She's coming today, and she asked me to make a dish for her returning. I didn't know what to make then I thought of jollof rice, but I didn't know how to make it. Then I watched your video. This was so helpful!
Wow, this lady has taken our jollof rice to a new level. Thanks for selling our food to the international community, more grease to your elbow, God bless.
Tbh this is the first Nigerian jollof recipe I have seen that can compete with gh jollof amidst the excess spices(msg) and rice looking a little firm. Impressed mum 🙏
My Nigerian friend loved it! He rated it a 10/10... Could not believe it was my first time making jollof rice and that I learned from looking it up on your YT channel! Thank you soo much?! Honestly the recipe is really similar to black american southern style red rice, except jollof has much more flavor and spices! Thank youu again!
Honestly this is one of the best jollof rice videos I have watched on TH-cam. I love how it came out. Sometimes my only challenge is that the name of those recipes are not easy to get at all not even in the Market because when you call a name,the market women will get looking at you because they have never heard such n they don't have it. God bless you for sharing with us
Quarantine brought me here i need to improve my game in the kitchen because hubby must be pampered. And am glad i met this video and u liked it... maam you did well and i love ur sincerity and thanks for offering you fried goat meat
My Nigerian ancestors are smiling right now because let me tell you..I made this and half the recipe and use oxtails instead of goat...my my my delicious! Thank you and I'm a follower!
Love this, I tried this with brown rice and less oil. It was still delicious. Brown rice has a different taste to everything but the flavours were fabulous.
Omg its the first and only video ive seen with this recipe that is so much on point with the ingredients. I am from Jamaica but i dont think I'm Jamaican when i think abt the love i have for Jollof Rice. So mouthwatering ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ i have to try this
Party portions, eye-balling ingredients (guided by ancestors no doubt), no wasting, no wasting, no wasting, tasting mmmm perfect, carefree efficiency and extra helping of joy...instant subscribe! God bless you sister! Can't wait to re-create❤❤❤
The color of this jollof rice is popping 😋😋😋❤❤ my dear sis you Absolutely nailed it. This is authentic Nigerian jollof rice. Beautiful thumbnail as well ❤❤❤❤💗👍👍👍
Who are the evil people giving this video a thumbs down? I love this video, I am saving it. It's not new because this is the exact style I use for my jollof. But nne you are doing well, ooin!
I am one of the evils o!😃😃 I thought the extra extra water on the meat will rundown the flavor on it, blending everything together and therefore giving them same cook time is a no no, some needs to cook longer than others. There was too much maggi(chicken seasoning cubes) than necessary that diners will unpleasantly recognize at first bite of the rice (at least myself and some others i know do) too much overpowers the natural ingredients and balance is the goal expecially when cooking for a crowd, the onions or shallots should always be fried first to intensify the sweetness(but I give that one a pass since she plead forgetfulness). I also thought her medium of tasting was on the sloppy side. So you see, those of us giving it a thumb down aren't exactly being hateful, we found things that needs adjusting to improving the overall results. With all that said, i found the color of the rice pretty appetizing and would incorporate more bell peppers in my jollof henceforth and also washing the rice with salt is something new that i will emulate. Finally, yes! I'm a Ghanaian and judging through that lenses, i will wait to taste nigerian style jollof rice to settle the age old fued about who makes the best jollof.
@b afra you obviously don’t watch or listen to most of my videos. Constructive criticism is one I whole heartedly welcome and then make amends. Telling me that adding extra water to cook down GOAT MEAT which is known to be a tough meat for the most part’’ will run down the flavor tells a lot about your comment. Meat like beef and soft chicken can be cooked without adding water . however would you rather cook the goat meat or which ever protein you decide to use without water and then use water for the jollof rice? Rather than get a well seasoned stock from your protein? ( now you see? Judging from your comment which ever way you decide to go, one of them will still be ‘run down in flavour’)! When you cook your protein in its own juice on High Heat for a few minutes it locks in seasonings and even if you add water afterwards it won’t run down the taste ( cooking is science) Now talking of seasonings I used 12 seasoning cubes and 5tsps of the ground chicken seasoning which I showed in the video in total for 18 Cups of Parboiled rice not 5 cups ohh with just 1 tspn of salt. 😅 come onnnn! , and No what you consider unpleasant is contrary to what majority of my clients can attest to. the seasoning wasn’t overwhelming at all. Scroll through the comments to read testimonials from people who have tried this exact recipe to hear what they have to say. I was in my kitchen cooking for my family and you consider my mode of tasting to be sloppy? Be real honey! I think having an open mind will do more good than harm. It is not about being Ghanaian or Nigerian my dear it who makes it and how it is made. I’m glad you learnt a few new things as well. Thank you for the dislike, I need it to grow.
@@GMC885 Fun fact : You don't have to criticise others. This is her own way of cooking her Jollof Rice. Stop spreading hate. It's not by force to write a comment.
Thank you for this video sister!! My 40 something years on earth, I've not used Shallots before but the day I watched this video was when I went to the store to buy it. Since then, have not regretted it. I use shallot for fried sauce, fried rice, jollof rice, etc
I love How natural you are...lol scooping the tomatoe paste with your fingers, picling some chopped peppers from the table into the blender, picKing a Lil piece of meat straigHt to your mouth. I can't wait to make jollof rice. Chai so mouth watering..... courage
This method is fire! As in! I just learnt how to cook party jollof rice. Christmas and new year jollof rice coming soon! We are leaving this 2020 with this yummy recipe. Thanks so much
I just happen to be looking into this cuisine from a Snapchat video, and THIS WAS AMAZING. I’ve been cooking for my family for years but my specialty is Mexican cuisine, Tex mex, carb conscious, and soul food. But THIS HAS SO MUCH LOVE put into it and now I have added some of these techniques to my already extensive arsenal of cooking specialties 😍 thank you so much !!!
Madam don`t say you made a mistake, your technique is on point, the rice looks rich and am very sure its gonna taste real good and delicious 😋😋😋🤗🤗🤗🤤🤤🤤 JOB WELL DONE.

There's nothing wrong frying the tomato puree before adding the chopped shallots, it gives the puree more test that way so both ways work very well for me. Lovely video very well done and your voice was loud enough to hear what you are saying.👌
Just learned something new today washing rice with salt, is there a reason for that? And I also realized that lots of Nigerians cook with red bell peppers any special reasons? thanks
@@peepypeepysan4082 yes it makes the color rich red
I swear I could smell it! That's exactly the kind of seasonings I love.
Who else closed their eyes by reflex when she started pouring in the pepper mix? Joys of cooking
Thank you! Till I now I only watched Ghanaian video's and recipes, but today I received my DNA results and I'm 46% Nigerian, so now I want to know everything about my heritage🥰
Are you learning about Nigerian food?
Best Jollof rice tutorial ever!
This was very relaxing to watch, the vibrant colors, her soothing voice and the overall asmr effects
You can say that again!!!💯💯
Sis. This is one of the best jollof vids. No one mentions that you have to fry till it is not tangy, no mention of reducing the stew till it thickens. This makes the difference between good jollof and just jollof. Thank you so much for sharing.
Awesome vid.
What do you mean by reducing the stew until it thickens ?
Dolapo O. So it doesn’t have as much water content in it and affect the texture or taste. Basically just boil it down.
I KNOW !!!
When a woman is beautiful and she know how to cook, she is a queen. Great job!!
Perfecto!!!!! This is the best jollof rice recipe I've seen, Yes goat stock is best. Thank you!
If you have such a woman treat her lovingly, give her gifts and many compliments. If you have a mother like that, carry her in your hands.

What rice did u use.its looks fantastic
I just watched this. My Jollof rice hasn't been coming out so nice and I'm so grateful for this! Thanks a million!!!!!
My pleasure. ❤️
I loved this! Interesting thing is this is not any different from how Ghanaian Jollof is made, so I can never make any sense of why we've had these jollof wars for years. Thanks for this!
Believe me the jollof rice(Benechin) from Senegambia is tastefully different from the bland fare imitations from other nations on the West African coast
Yea so true but Ghanaians use perfume rice. That rice alone is yummy. I am Nigerian married to ghanian and i cook both rice same way. Honestly Ghana jollof with the help of the rice takes the crown
That is awesome
This war is unending and for the records it never taste the same. Lol
The difference between ghanaian jollof rice and Nigeria jollof rice is, Nigerians use to add butter to their jollof and is also Nigeria they have party jollof and original jollof anyway
I am a Nigerian diaspora and I can’t wait to try and cook food from the motherland thank you 🙏🏽
Couldn't resist watching when the video popped up 😃, one of the realest no forming TH-cam video I've seen 😍
I’m telling you... I like how she says “I made a big mistake guys.” She made the video like it’s just one of those days when you do your cooking void of cameras.
Listen Im Haitian🇭🇹and this is how our Grandmas use to cook rice in Haiti👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾Bravo Very Nice and I will do it. Thank You
Haitian over here
!!
Oasisfullfilled which part of Haiti is that? Cause she added 10 chicken cubs.
yamii loway My people from Cap Haitian. Chicken cubes are not healthy but the same process
I’m sorry but Haitians DO NOT cook rice like this. Not even close... she’s even adding curry powder.... looks tasty though
YaGirl Malasia Have you visted all parts of Haiti to make that assumption? I can answer for you no. There are different ways to cook. You can go to Gonaives,Okap,Port au Prince, Port salut,delmas, Les cayes, Jacmel and various of other locations and you can see they cook different but the concept is there. My mom makes her legume very different
"Nothing will waste here o.. I'll rinse it out"😂 typical Nigerian woman, we don't waste things cha cha
it is all of us
in Africa
women are alike
Well I'm not African but same here in the Caribbean 🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨
I'm surprised she didn't use her fingers to scrape the tin of tomato paste. I use silicone scrapper to scrape the tin LOL!
@@juliegreene1844 my mum will wash the tin🤦🏾♀️
@@blackdiamond7956 My mum too ... LOL! I do too sometimes
I love how you stated the exact quantity of ingredients used here. I am a first timer to your channel here and that singular act made me interested. I'm glad I did watch to the end. Thanks for sharing ma'am.God bless you
No doubt that the delicious rice dishes we eat in the different countries of Latin America originally came from Africa, and then some things were added by the Spaniards and the indigenous people. Delicious!!!! 8 had never seen the preparation of an authentic African dish. Thank you for showing and explaining it so well.
I made this exactly the way you showed it! This came out AMAZING! None of my previous jollofs came out as good as this one. Thank you so much for this👍
Same here,just followed her method now and the party jollof is wow
I must admit it love everything step of it from her personality her presentation and humility I’m definitely trying this out and a just hit the subscribe button for more of her great recipes My husband is Nigerian am definitely cooking this for him
I learn a different style, thanks alot
Gosh!!!! This jollof rice is perfect!!!!
😍😍😍
When she said "so now let's taste it" and was picking the rice off the spatula, I was blowing air on my phone to cool it off 🤣🤣🤣
This comment 😂😂😂😁😁😁

Looool. Naughty
Hahaa 🤣🤣 babe you too like food. I though I was the only one o. Lol.

🥰🥰🥰🥰I can't express how happy and how much I love this video right now, I like when you showed the cup you use and not just saying 18 cups, and also all other ingredients. I love the detailed explanation. " I use two bell peppers for every 4 cups"😍 I love this. I have been looking for a video like this
I am not Nigerian but I love Jollof 🫣. Every time I want to make Jollof rice I come back here🥲🙏🏾
This time am back, I want to make it for my family this Christmas 🥰 thanks your video helps ❤️🇮🇪
Thank You so much. I followed your instructions to the T, and my jollof finally came out perfect. I have tried 5 other methods and it didnt work, yours was the best. New subbie.
I’m glad! Thank you for subscribing
This is the best Jollof rice video I've seen on YT. Very detailed!
I love the way she shows the quantities of each spice. The amount is always very important. Thanks for the video
I love your sincerity when you make a mistake you admit to it I love that, I have party coming next week so will follow all the step you took in this video
This is like the best Party Jollof video!!!

Oh my goodness someone who cuts a bell pepper the way that I do! I can't stand wasting the cuttings of vegetables when they are perfectly edible. So glad you do this!
This is the best jollof rice I’ve seen so far and it look delicious.

I feel soooo happy to have finally seen someone cooking just like my beloved mum used to. "God bless her soul" congrats to you Cynthia. You are the best I have seen from Africa. I promised to watch and follow you when & wherever your cooking goes. Baba (Senegal)🇸🇳 🇸🇳
Sorry for your loss Diouf! God rest her Soul. ♥️♥️
My mom traveled to Nigeria for 2 weeks.
She's coming today, and she asked me to make a dish for her returning.
I didn't know what to make then I thought of jollof rice, but I didn't know how to make it.
Then I watched your video.
This was so helpful!
Wow, this lady has taken our jollof rice to a new level. Thanks for selling our food to the international community, more grease to your elbow, God bless.
Typical African wey for teach person for cook. Measurements are done with the eyes, timing is done with the tongue ... Thank you hanty hahaha
You make me laugh
Hahahahahahha u dey mad.
Put until the ancestors tell u its ok 😂😂😂
So true🤣🤣🤣🤣,

How to fry party jollof rice stew
th-cam.com/video/0TsgvbL5g6c/w-d-xo.html
I used your recipe for jollof and I must say. It was the bestttttt. Everyone was just praying my jollof oooooo. Thank you soooooo much
When she said see me i made a mistake, i was like wow! I love her for her honesty. Well done sis 👍
Tbh this is the first Nigerian jollof recipe I have seen that can compete with gh jollof amidst the excess spices(msg) and rice looking a little firm. Impressed mum 🙏
You made good stock for the rice. I love well seasoned food.
I have never had Joloff rice, but I know I would love it!! The ingredients and spices are so lovely! I love anything that is rice!
I really enjoyed watching this especially when you started singing, Tu face song...Yes o, Yes o, yes o....lol. Jollof on point, im trying this recipe.
My Nigerian friend loved it! He rated it a 10/10... Could not believe it was my first time making jollof rice and that I learned from looking it up on your YT channel! Thank you soo much?!
Honestly the recipe is really similar to black american southern style red rice, except jollof has much more flavor and spices! Thank youu again!
Honestly this is one of the best jollof rice videos I have watched on TH-cam. I love how it came out. Sometimes my only challenge is that the name of those recipes are not easy to get at all not even in the Market because when you call a name,the market women will get looking at you because they have never heard such n they don't have it. God bless you for sharing with us
Quarantine brought me here i need to improve my game in the kitchen because hubby must be pampered. And am glad i met this video and u liked it... maam you did well and i love ur sincerity and thanks for offering you fried goat meat
I watched this yesterday and I’m cooking it at the moment..the flavor is out of this world..thank u ma’am 🥰🥰🥰🥰
My Nigerian ancestors are smiling right now because let me tell you..I made this and half the recipe and use oxtails instead of goat...my my my delicious! Thank you and I'm a follower!
Awwww! 😀 thank you for the feed back :)
Lol@ my Nigerian ancestors 😂😂😂😂
Love this, I tried this with brown rice and less oil. It was still delicious.
Brown rice has a different taste to everything but the flavours were fabulous.
I agree with you,.... Just looking at d color of d rice made me full. You just too much! I love your cooking & you are such a great teacher.
Omg its the first and only video ive seen with this recipe that is so much on point with the ingredients. I am from Jamaica but i dont think I'm Jamaican when i think abt the love i have for Jollof Rice. So mouthwatering ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ i have to try this
I just ate jollof today. My African friend taught me how to prepare it
This is absolutely lovely. I made my rice the same way you did and I’ve just been receiving compliments😊😊✨
Party portions, eye-balling ingredients (guided by ancestors no doubt), no wasting, no wasting, no wasting, tasting mmmm perfect, carefree efficiency and extra helping of joy...instant subscribe! God bless you sister! Can't wait to re-create❤❤❤

Thank you so much. I appreciate you.😘😘
I THINK THIS IS THE PERFECT JOLLOF I HAVE EVER SEEN.
WISH I CAN TASTE IT LOL....!!!
Who are the evil people giving this video a thumbs down? I love this video, I am saving it. It's not new because this is the exact style I use for my jollof. But nne you are doing well, ooin!
Thank you so much !
I am one of the evils o!😃😃
I thought the extra extra water on the meat will rundown the flavor on it, blending everything together and therefore giving them same cook time is a no no, some needs to cook longer than others. There was too much maggi(chicken seasoning cubes) than necessary that diners will unpleasantly recognize at first bite of the rice (at least myself and some others i know do) too much overpowers the natural ingredients and balance is the goal expecially when cooking for a crowd, the onions or shallots should always be fried first to intensify the sweetness(but I give that one a pass since she plead forgetfulness). I also thought her medium of tasting was on the sloppy side. So you see, those of us giving it a thumb down aren't exactly being hateful, we found things that needs adjusting to improving the overall results. With all that said, i found the color of the rice pretty appetizing and would incorporate more bell peppers in my jollof henceforth and also washing the rice with salt is something new that i will emulate. Finally, yes! I'm a Ghanaian and judging through that lenses, i will wait to taste nigerian style jollof rice to settle the age old fued about who makes the best jollof.
@b afra you obviously don’t watch or listen to most of my videos. Constructive criticism is one I whole heartedly welcome and then make amends. Telling me that adding extra water to cook down GOAT MEAT which is known to be a tough meat for the most part’’ will run down the flavor tells a lot about your comment. Meat like beef and soft chicken can be cooked without adding water . however would you rather cook the goat meat or which ever protein you decide to use without water and then use water for the jollof rice? Rather than get a well seasoned stock from your protein? ( now you see? Judging from your comment which ever way you decide to go, one of them will still be ‘run down in flavour’)! When you cook your protein in its own juice on High Heat for a few minutes it locks in seasonings and even if you add water afterwards it won’t run down the taste ( cooking is science) Now talking of seasonings I used 12 seasoning cubes and 5tsps of the ground chicken seasoning which I showed in the video in total for 18 Cups of Parboiled rice not 5 cups ohh with just 1 tspn of salt. 😅 come onnnn! , and No what you consider unpleasant is contrary to what majority of my clients can attest to. the seasoning wasn’t overwhelming at all. Scroll through the comments to read testimonials from people who have tried this exact recipe to hear what they have to say. I was in my kitchen cooking for my family and you consider my mode of tasting to be sloppy? Be real honey! I think having an open mind will do more good than harm. It is not about being Ghanaian or Nigerian my dear it who makes it and how it is made. I’m glad you learnt a few new things as well. Thank you for the dislike, I need it to grow.

Thank you for this video sister!! My 40 something years on earth, I've not used Shallots before but the day I watched this video was when I went to the store to buy it. Since then, have not regretted it. I use shallot for fried sauce, fried rice, jollof rice, etc
