STEP 2( parboiling stage):

I turned on my cooking gas and installed my pot on it. I did that and put a small quantity of water of about half a kettle after after which I wait until it boils, then I put the already measured rice into the hot boiling water and allowed it to boil for about 10 minutes. After that I put it down to wash. I washed it for three times and then proceeded to the next stage.see video below 👇

STEP 3(frying the tomatoes):

in this stage,I put the pot on the fire and allowed the water inside the pot to dry for about 11 seconds,then put a little quantity of groundnut oil. After 20 seconds, I put a spoon of salt to the oil and add onions then stir for 5 seconds and add tomato paste and continue stirring for about 7 minutes to avoid burning. Then after 7 to 8 minutes I add; curry,thyme, nutmeg, kitchen glory and jollof rice spices (in all, put half of the sachet each) then, stir and fry for 20 seconds. Add one cube of Maggi, crayfish,stock fish, pepper and water of more which is now half of a kettle and stir.Then, I Allowed it to boil out the tastes of the fish and also to mix up with all the ingredients for about 10 minutes.see video link below 👇

STEP 4(cooking stage):

After 10 minutes,I put the rice inside and stir,then I added one cube of Maggi again,stir and allowed it to boil for a long period of 30 minutes in order to dry up the water in the rice. Before the 30mins could reach I checked whether the rice is done already and behold after tasting it. I found out it was ready to be served. I put down the pot and served myself. Wow it was so delicious 🥰🥰🥰
