Preparation method

Cooking the Rice

To start, I added a measured amount of rice to a pot and parboiled it for a few minutes. After parboiling, I washed the rice thoroughly.

Preparing the Stew

Next, I heated a pot over the fire and let it dry. Then, I added a small amount of groundnut oil to the pot. I sautéed the condiments for the stew until fragrant.

Combining Rice and Stew

After that, I added the parboiled rice to the pot, followed by water. Once the water boiled, I added additional condiments to taste.

Serving

Finally, my delicious rice dish was ready to be served.
