It's the best feeling in the world:wow: After years of trial and error, I made a breakthrough last night and my nigerian jollof finally came out tasting just like the ones they serve at Nigerian parties:banderas:

The next attempt will determine if I have finally nailed it or it was just a fluke:to:

Any breh here ever whipped up something a pro chef would be proud of

For jollof rice, the most important factors I have discovered are the ratio of peppers to tomatos

So with the former, it's 5 tomatoes to 2 red bell peppers and 1 scotch bonnet for 2 cups of rice

then you have to fry the tomato paste (2 table spoon) on low heat and constantly mixing to avoid burning (it burns easily) for about 5 minutes then add your blended pepper mix and continue frying then add seasoning (salt,knorr chicken cubes,curry,bay leaves,chicken stock) then introduce your washed rice

add a little water, allow to cook for 10 minutes on medium heat then reduce the heat and cover the pot to steam the rice the rest of the way for about 30-40 minutes then finally add 1-2 tablespoon of butter and mix. the pot will burn but that's what gives it the smokey flavour

I've finally got my chicken curry to where I wouldn't be able to tell if it was made at a restaurant. But I also had to get all the spices herbs at the Indian grocery store.
