ANSWERS 2 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1• Can you make a smaller version? Answer •• YES 👉🏽kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib-EqdWL27q5f4E.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. :)

Lol. I came to learn to how to cook for two people. Sis said nah, we will be eating for days.

I love how she makes mistakes and admits it... so relatable

I just want to say thank you so much. My husband is Nigerian I’m American and your chanel has helped me so much to cook the meals he loves. Thanks!!!

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 REAL, I enjoyed the way you humbly admitted to mistakes, kudos sis, will definitely try it this way.

I’m Mexican American and let me tell you it looks so good. I’ve never seen Nigerian food 🥘 I can tell it brings people together

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!

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

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😘✌🏽❤️

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 💖🎈😘

Best Jollof rice tutorial ever!

I’m American and I really enjoy learning her recipes because I love African food. She gives good instructions to follow.

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 :)

When a woman is beautiful and she know how to cook, she is a queen. Great job!!

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 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

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!!

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

I just love how intentional you are with the paste

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.

This is absolutely lovely. I made my rice the same way you did and I’ve just been receiving compliments😊😊✨

You made good stock for the rice. I love well seasoned food.

Honestly this is one of the best jollof rice videos I have watched on KZfaq. 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

Wow...the best Nigerian party, Jollof rice. Popping colours. I smell it from here.

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.

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

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.
