Nigerian jollof rice is a rice almost cooked in every home, it is a dish that has a great taste that carried along a great journey up to some great countries enjoying the sweetness of it. Nigeria won the award of preparing the most delicious jollof rice in a competition with 3 countries in Washington DC 2017. Today I decided to share some of my recipe in preparing this dish. Its a dish that u can make it with any ingredient of choice,making sure to taste better. I made it with dried fish and Cole slaw to add more taste to every spoon.
