Sorry but that is NOT JOLLOF RICE and its not called Risoto, jumbalaya or paella... Those have different ingredients and different ways of cooking them.. What that woman just coked looks like fried rice without the carrots and other essential vegetables and ingredients.... Can someone actually upload a tutorial of a step by step way to cook authentic african jollof rice cos she spent like most of the time talking instead of cooking... ¬_¬.

I love jellow rice my husband is nigerian. I wish I could cook it for him, thanks for the video very nice one.

This is not jollof rice at all!!!!! with all that stirring the rice must have burnt (i'm very certain of that!) And again, Nigerians do not cook rice with palm oil (abi na soup u dey make?). One more thing: adding those green peas at that point would made them all brown and soggy when the water dries. It's a vegetable, you add at the end when the rice is almost done and cook tops 5 mins. She must have substituted another pot of rice (with editing, anything is possible).

That is certainly not jollof rice, what you made was more like fried rice. I actually take that route/method when I want to cook fried rice, thanks though for the time.

ive seen the chefs at the Mariot hotel cooking jollof rice and they would say this is a very bad way of cooking it if they saw this video and wonder where you got your cooking lisence from!

@TatyjaK Jere jef Thank you! ..lol..I'm learning more from you. I must confess Senegal have the best rice cuisine in the whole of Africa. Very peaceful country and I enjoyed myself so much. I was with a modest family where I was treated like one of theirs. I like their eating habit and wish my people stop the heavy food consumption of fufu, yam, cassava, plantain and loads of meat ..lol.. I used to think Senegalese eating habit is healthier and wasn't about finance alone but just a lifestyle.

@omoibile ROFL! LOL! you are soo funny :) And no, "sa ma gol" = my love, sweetheart... (you say it to your lover, your spouse, etc.) I don't know where you have been to but in Senegal, they eat 3 square meal a day (usually rice for lunch and millet, stew, something you eat with bread for diner) plus the breakfast (a typical french one). But not everyone can afford them, that's why you may see some families eating 1 square meal a day. And yes, because of the arab influence, tea is a must <3
