Today, l want to share with you how l cooked my Nigerian jollof Rice with a very few ingredients. Here in my country, jollof rice is often served in every occasion, which means if you attain any occasion in some parts of Nigeria without eating jollof rice, it means the occasion is not complete. This meal usually taste yummy and delicious.

1 shachet of Tomatoes and 2 piece of Fresh

3 Seasoning cube

4 different Spices

Handful of Crayfish

2 piece Ginger and garlic

1 Onion

Small quantity of Vegetables oil

The first step:
l properly Washed my desire quantity of rice in a cool water and transfer it into a clean pot, put on fire to parboil it for some minutes.

After parboiling, I kept it aside and I prepared all other ingredients as shown in the picture below.

Here in Nigeria, we take rice as one of the most simplest and fast delicacies, so, 90 % of Nigeria citizens consumed rice weekly. The statistics does not talk's about only jollof Rice, but Rice in general and it different ways of preparations, namely: fried rice, coconut rice, pepper soup rice, stew rice and a lot more.

We love rice here because of it high content of carbohydrates that easily restores energy to the body and it can be consumed at any time of the day...be it breakfast, lunch or dinner.
