Expert Answer

You need to use a special pot that can burn a little bit on the bottom. You want your dish to have a smoky flavor, and that comes from the burning at the bottom of the pot.

Can I add carrots and cabbage?

Feel free to add carrot, but I would advise you not to add cabbage during the cooking process. You can add it afterwards when serving.

Question

When you make jollof rice, how many Maggi do we add to 2 or 3 cups of rice?

Federa

Community Answer

This is difficult to say as people have different salt tolerance levels. With two cups of rice however, 4 single cubed Maggi and no addition of actual salt should work.
