– First you have to wash your rice properly, then soak in hot water until it rises a little bit, and then drain out the water and keep ready for when you want to add it to the stew.
– Add 2 cooking spoons of groundnut oil in a pot and allow to heat for about 30 seconds
– Add one sliced onion to the hot oil
– Allow to fry for 1 to 2 minutes, then add 400ml of blended pepper and 2 table spoons of tomatoes paste.
– Fry until it splits (stir as you fry) this takes around 15mins – 20 mins.
– Then add your meat stock to the mixture – around 1.5litre
– Also, add around 1.5litre of normal water to the pot
– Add 4 seasoning cubes of 10grams, also add a tablespoon of salt, a table spoon of curry and thyme, 2 teaspoons of nutmeg to the mixture and allow to boil.
– Whilst boiling, add 1kg of washed rice, stir and mix, allow to cook until it’s dry (20 – 30 mins) – use medium heat
When the water is dry, you stir and add your garnish.
Food is ready.
