No unrelated discussion - contest submission is already on, not the time for chi-chat. Go into the kitchen. I will be moderating the thread.
Thanks Igebotz I  can see you are doing a good job moderating here would have assisted in that though but I didn't make the thread self moderated. No worries though thumbs up.

Nice entries  so far Grin frankly speaking It seems Victorybit1 is challenging me to  make a swallow dish Grin

Edit:
Merited all entries so far

Nice entries everyone let's keep it coming.

The entries am seeing all nice but still haven't seen the major Nigerian dishes am expecting to see like

* Famous Banga soup
* Bitter leave soup
* Palm oil rice (MTN rice) 😁
* Melon soup ( egusi soup)
* Amala and ewedu
* Plantain porridge pepper soup (ijaw man fit relate)

It will be very hard to see those classification of food on this contest, not that people are not use to it but because Christmas is always a month our people sees or understand to be a month of different varieties of rice and beans because that's how we were brought up and during the month of December every family is built up with rice, so it will be rare to see banga soup or even bitter leave soup now, however since the contest will last till January hopefully we shall see a lot of it because after this December a lot of people will go back to there traditional food and banga soup is always very delicious if is being prepared well.

My favourite food has always been a stew rice, so based on the love I have for it I decided to make a STEW RICE on this contest, however without much explanation of the process I undergo on the preparation I have made all the pictures available for faster understanding.















The second process is for Stew










The next process is for the white rice

I understand what you mean Cryptoprincess, but white rice is different from jollof rice. White rice is easy to cook, so it would have been better that you also show the process on how you prepared this jollof rice based on the rules in the OP. However, it's just my suggestion, the OP will decide. loos like you love cooking a lot.

MY JOLLOF RICE PRESENTATION TO THE FORUM


Towards today evening I decide to make sharp quick Nigeria JOLLOF RICE specifically to present here on the forum, even though it wasn't the 25th Rice it doesn't change anything because that day was a very busy day for me, putting things together and also working on my contest.
However here is my meal that I took some of my time to make to present on the forum.. Especially if it was easy to waybill to theymos, pooya87,El duderino_, JayJuanGee, klarki, 1miau, LFC_Bitcoin, hilariousandco. I could have sent it across to them to also enjoy my delicious meal.

That is by the way.. Fast forward to the whole learning process.

Ingredients:

I am more selective when it comes to ingredients because my body system do reacts to some spices, therefore I just picked those that I think will be cool with my body system without being so much uncomfortable after consuming my meal.

Here we go:
Step 1
  • Five sachet of tomato paste
  • Golden penny Groundnut oil
  • Butter
  • seasoned curry
  • Onions (already sliced)
  • Carrot (already sliced)
  • Grinded Crayfish
  • Chicken
  • 5 cups of rice
  • Star Maggie
  • Fresh pepper
  • Chicken water
  • Vegetable (green pepper, carrot, green peas, cabbage)
  • Salt

Procedures:

Step 2 : At first you season the chicken with salt , Maggi, pepper , onion, curry to make the chicken not to be white. You can add blended ginger and garlic to make it have a good taste if you want to do so, though it's necessary to able you have the look out of the meal. When steaming is done reserve little of the chicken water, then you fry the chicken or (fish) and it's ready to eat.

Step 3: Wash the rice in cold water, put the rice inside your pot, add little water and parboil it. Allow it to boil for few minutes, depending on the types of rice you are using. Mostly I love using mango rice as its more yummy and tasty. Then filter out the water and wash the rice with clean water then keep it in a dry clean dish.

Keep the pot on fire and add a little quantity of water because I don't want to fry it since I do not like frying most of our food and I easily reacts to fried food, pour groundnut oil (100ml) inside then pot depending on the quantity of your rice, add tomatoes, salt into the pot then allow it to boil. When the mixture is boiling and getting dry add onions, butter, chicken water, then add water for cooking the food.
After adding water, also add pepper, Maggi, curry. Cover the pot for some minute, when the water is almost getting dry add crayfish and allow the water to dry up completely then the rice is ready.

Step 4: Cut the vegetables, add butter on a frying pan (2-3 table spoon depending on the quantity of your rice), allow the butter to melt and add the cut veggies into the pan and allow it to steam for about 2-5 minutes (you turn it a bit). Then pour it inside the rice and mix them together, put the fried chicken in the pot of rice as shown on the image below..

Food is ready to serve

Then here comes the end of our class on learning how to cook Nigerian Jollof Rice.

Please do not mind my pictures I don't want it to  occupy much space, therefore I reduces their sizes.















I call on people of forum to come join me eat my food, it's not easy to spend time making food. I know if you understand the stress involves making foods then you will also learn to appreciates your wives at home.

Merry Christmas to you all.

I decided to cook stew rice and beans garnished with fried plantain, salad, and different types of fruit. But before this contest is over, I will still add the dreaded Nigerian jollof. It is now I am seeing that we need to add our forum username and date when taking photos of our food. So that made me not include my forum username and date when I was taking photos of my food, but I will do that when I am adding the dreaded Nigerian jollof rice to this post.
Below are some of the processes I passed through to get my food cooked.












Below is my food

[Edited out]

Wow...I applaud you for your effort and interest to participate in this contest on cooking our local jollof rice, and everything you stated above is true. Different cook, and their different timing.
He was actually talking about their local dish called Tahdig .. I was pretty much interested in it so the post was about the description on how I can go about  it  but I didn't  if  the image attached was cooked by him   Smiley and that was what I was trying to confirm in my last post( so as to get the recipe for the colour blend), it seems he's yet to notice the comments for now but I can still work with the guide he dropped as well just to practice mine ..
Btw nice dish you got there Frankolala

Checked the recipe but from the images I'm seeing it looks like it was  added separately on the rice dish, which means both rice were cooked separately or I'm getting it wrong because I'm thinking of giving it a try  hopefully I don't mess it up Cheesy
I got  my lazy fingers on some little YouTube search and found this:
https://youtu.be/aeThg8k1-fw?si=jA_qplel1k2wHzSj
Two shorts:
https://youtube.com/shorts/4zuxilOoTwo?si=C6NEUwv5zDAtVbs9
https://youtube.com/shorts/k8tFhvSUnJU?si=IcPcc_ITWrGRF_6L

The first one seem to be more explanatory than the other two although they are all okay.. which do you think is better.
No scarce ingredients appart from saffron( any alt)..
It takes a couple of tries to get things correctly. There are a couple of tricks.
1. It was in the first video but I'll emphasize because it is important: During the first step when you boil the rice first to have it cook, it mustn't cook all the way or the result will be a different type of dish. It has to be Al dente (like Pasta, it has just gotten soft but it is not completely soft) before rinsing it.

2. The duration for the second part where you put the rice back in the pot to cook (https://youtu.be/aeThg8k1-fw?t=261) depends on the type of rice, the video used 1 hour. But generally I'd use 30 to 40 minutes.
Also at the very beginning of this step I'd increase the heat to high for a couple of minutes while being careful not to burn it. Then lower it to medium/low and let it cook for 30 minutes.

Although saffron would make it taste and look better (color-wise) but it is not mandatory. You could even use potatoes or any type of thin bread like what we call Lavash as your Tahdig.
Just slice the potato into thin (like 4-5 mm) slices and place them at the bottom of the pan before pouring the rice on top.

The fried potato Tahdig is actually much better than plain ol' rice Smiley



Wow...I applaud you for your effort and interest to participate in this contest on cooking our local jollof rice, and everything you stated above is true. Different cook, and their different timing. It shows that you are a good chef because some Nigerians don't know how to cook despite watching it on YouTube. How was the taste, did you like it.

Those images should also display your username, I guess you forgot that part of the rules.
Thanks for the head up.
