BASMATI JOLLOF RICE RECIPE THAT WOULD PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE!

This time, I’m sharing with you my Basmati Jollof Rice recipe I use whenever I want to make my husband smile. Thanks to the #SmilewithMAGGI campaign, I was able to give him this treat and he loved this one, you should see his grin! I'm going to make it again for his birthday (New Years Day!). I "jelox" his birthdate very much. LOL Warning: DO NOT copy my recipe text to your blog or website without my consent! You can share my videos but don't copy my recipe TEXT! Wehdone.

10 Tomatoes

4 Peppers (Rodo)

2 Tatashe

3 Onions (1 Chopped, 2 Blended with Tomatoes)

1 Tbs Tin Tomatoe

1 tsp Ginger (Chopped)

1 tsp Garlic (Chopped)

2 Cups Basmati Rice

1 tsp Curry

1 Maggi Chicken Cube

1 tsp Salt

5 Bayleaf

3 Cups Chicken stock

PREPARATION

• Blend Tomatoes, Pepper, 2 Onions, Ginger, Garlic and boil till all the water is gone. 
• Heat up a pan, add vegetable oil. When it is hot, add onions, curry, thyme, bayleaf, 1 cube Maggi and fry for 1 minute.
• Add boiled tomato/pepper mixture to the oil, add 1 spoon of tin tomatoes and fry for 15 minutes. Taste to see if it is cooked. 
• Add chicken stock, then add already washed basmati rice. Stir together till everything is incorporated .
• Cover the pot with foil paper and the pot cover, then reduce the heat. What you need is the heat to cook the rice not water.
• Allow cook for 30 minutes or till soft. 
• Now add butter and sliced fresh tomatoes, mix together and steam for 5 minutes.

*Did not add Salt because your Chicken Stock should contain salt and some seasoning.

Happy New Year in advance!
