Hello wonderful people of steemit, hope you all are having a wonderful weekend and a wonderful day? I am delighted and glad to share how I spent my Sunday and also my first experience of cooking rice “jellof”

Every individual has his or her own way of making jellof rice, for me I’ll say that no one actually taught me how to make this particular meal. But I guess I learnt through slight looks whenever it’s been prepared by my sister

Below are my ingredients for making my jellof rice

Raw rice
Pepper
Fresh tomatoes
Onions
Magi
Salt
Satchet/tin paste

First of all I will have to wash my rice with a sieve and a running water from a tap, to avoid and dirt or sand in it then I poured it into the pot to per boil it . Meanwhile while the rice is been per boiled I started with cutting your tomatoes,onions and pounding your pepper.

Then I watched the rice for 25munites then bring it down to wash it the second time. This time I was careful with the washing because the rice was hot, so I used a sieve also.

When I'm done with washing the rice I pout my groundnut oil into the pot and let it get steemmed then I'll add my Magi, I added two cubes because I wasn't making a large quantity of rice after that I added a little quantity of salt and pured in my tomatoes and onions. Though some people prefer per boiling the tomatoes before using it but I always love using them raw in other to get the exact test of it, so after I stared it and let it dry together with the groundnut oil for a while

After sometime I added my stock fish and added a little water to let the ingredients circulate then I finally added the white rice, more water and I tasted it there was no much salt then I had to add more salt.
