Thank you for allowing not only other West African people tap into their cullinary routes, but for westerners aswell like myself to learn and enjoy the wonderful cuisine!

My mom is from Gambia she makes her Jollof rice in a different way and I think that's what makes West African food special! Everybody has their own style.

I'm a white boy from the south. Love all kinds of cooking. Nigerian, ghanian, Jamaican, Indian, Persian, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, pretty much anything spicy. Made this recipe and it was good as hell. Thanks,

you can actually see some west African influences in Southern Cooking, primarily soul food/ typically African American cooking. And that is doubly true of Jamaican food, lots of food in the Caribbean is a blend of west African, Indian, Spanish cooking and cuisine of the Natives that lived there prior to colonisation. Or just think how it came curry is so popular in Nigeria - the spices blends we often call curry in the west originated in India and when you think about how both Nigeria and India were British colonies it all makes sense. Food is so full of history. Tl;dr: if you like west African flavours see if there re an Caribbean and Jamaican restaurants

I made this tonight with chicken and plantains and it was so good! My fiance is Nigerian and he said I did good. He even encouraged me to take a picture of his plate before he ate it (he never takes pictures of his food). I am so glad I found your channel, I am going to try your Egusi recipe next.

Must confess I love ur channel. Life outside Nigeria could b really kool but when it comes to food*sighs* its just rice, pounded yam, den once in a while beans . I must say the hardest part of each day for me is deciding on what food to make . Been longing for a change till I saw ur channel and would really appreciate if u could give me some recipes to other nice dishes, Nigerian or wherever, wanna try new things. I love love love love ur kitchen btw.

I lived in Liberia. It seems like the Liberian version may not have used as many spices but a lot of other ingredients (vegetables) to help with taste. In years past tried my hand at it few times. Occasionally it turned out very well :-)

@danielle23999 11 жыл бұрын

I've seen people make it in the pot but we usually use a foil tray and put it in the oven for about an hour - and hour and a half. There's usually mixed vegetables or something in it as well.

Looks great! What is the name of the song at the end of the video?

@AfroFoodTV 11 жыл бұрын

Great comment! The true Jollof, pioneered by the Woolof people of Senegal contains an assortment of spices similar to the spice mix curry. Spice trade in Africa (particularly from Egypt through Senegambia) dates as far back as 1100's, so spices have been in use in Africa for centuries now. The savory soups typically don't call for curry because the country of origin (Nigeria, depending on the recipe) used other flavoring agents to season these soups like Ogiri or Iru.Thanks for the comment!

Just got through cooking this dish and it is delicious. It's not too mushy or too crisp, but just RIGHT. I cooked it in the oven though, cause it was starting to really burn on the stove. Being that I'm a pepper lover, I think I over did it this time. LOL. At least I know better for next time.

I just made it but forgot the chicken boullion.... it still had a nice flavor. I did struggle with the water measurement though. Any tips? I usually do 2 x the cups of rice. Oh and one more thing, do you leave some of the sauce out to later bath the meat/chicken?

@IlianaGuadalupe 11 жыл бұрын

Excellent!!! I am trying it out. It is very similar to Mexican rice but with the curry and thyme it must take another delicious flavor. By the way, do you measure the amount of water also based on the cups of rice? GRACIAS!!
