Jpapa I really …
Jpapa I really don’t see what to correct, the title is “jollof” rice which is acknowliedged by the title - COOKING WITH CHI CHI - JOLLOF RICE. The name “Jollof” is wollof laundered over the years. I don’t see the fuss. Today we have chiken korma pizza and italians don’t do beserk over this knowing where it’s originate for. It’s widely eaten in Nigeria till date but it’s still called JOLLOF!

Generally this is how we cook Jellof rice but each pot may have a slight variation of this eg some of my Yuroba friends may prefer to add a little palm oil or / and red bell peppers. Equally delicious. Enjoy

Important point …
Important point and point taken. But also important is to recognize that it has spread through out west Africa and particularly common in Nigeria. It would be fair to say that even though it’s origins were from SeneGambia, over a while, we have adopted this great dish as one of our national dishes too. That is something SeneGambia can be proud of. Whilst we stand as proud indipendant countries, there are things even food that unites our identities as African / West African.

Will enquire about it. Not sure what it is unless i know it to be called something else. Excuse my spelling, could it be Nkwa, a bean like texture that looks like barley, boiled and then prepared with Palm oil and other ingredients similar to how abacha is prepared? Will check with my aunties.

ChinezeO,
Thank …
ChinezeO,
Thank you for replying back to me. Nkwobi is a dish made with cowfoot, cow skin, or both. The ingredients include palm oil, potash, ikeze leaves or some bitter leaf type. I believe that there is one more seasoning, but I cannot remember. A restaurant in Maryland that serves it. I first heard about Nkwobi from Mama G in Old School (Patience Ozokwor). Also, do you know of an igbo name meaning Conqueror(ing) or one similar to it? My name means Conqueror or Conqueroring in Latin.

The whole thing …
The whole thing ruins the dish; leading people to continue to give credit to just the well known nations why not be proud and give credit to the little others?
Chi chi called it Nigerian recipe in her video and this is misinforming. Call it Nigerian or Ghanian version of Sene-Gambian dish. “Jollof Rice”.
WE cook yam and stuff but we don’t call it our stuff knowing many other nations cook it but historians will know unlike netizens

You have made an …
You have made an important point. However how does one conclude a consensus on jollof rice when there are so many variations of it, each claiming to be authentic and true representations of Jollof rice. I agree and appreciate the importance of acknowledging the origins of food but Jollof rice has spread so widely through west Africa and even beyond. My Nigerian recipes have been passed on to me by my mother, Nigerian aunties and my Grandmother in Nigeria. No pot of rice is ever the same.

God bless you. …
God bless you. Welcome to the different faces and voices of Africa. i take it you have tried my recipe and it didn’t go down well with you. There is such a great interest in Jollof rice and every one i know just goes mad for it. I will try your variation of Jollof rice which is one variation out of so many. Thanks for your unique perspective.
