Nigerian jollof rice hack:
-Use more tatashe or Shombo and less fresh tomatoes.
-Add fresh garlic and ginger for a better flavour.
-Blend your pepper mix with little water.
-In your oil, add your herbs and onion together for a richer flavour.
-Use minimal curry powder.
-Your sachet or tin tomato should fry properly before adding the fresh pepper mix.
-Allow your pepper mix fry extremely well until the oil is seen on the surface. Season appropriately once the pepper base is ready.
-Jollof rice does not require too much water or stock. A little water above the surface of the rice is enough to cook the rice.
-Cover your pot with a foil paper to trap the steam, and stir the rice at intervals.
-Add a little butter towards the end.
