I want to thank you for posting this video, I followed the instruction and my Jollof came out good I didn't believe I cooked it

lolz , bro am frm another country, but do nigerians and ghanains , envy each other , give me a bit of history, thanks . all countries boardering each othe r have this common think.haha
there's just a bit of a rivalry when it comes to jollof, as in who makes better jollof. Jollof is srs bznz in west africa lol
We and Nigeria don't share a boarder. Ghana is two countries away from Nigeria.
I just came from Ghana and I fall in love with the food!!!!😋now I am want to learn how to cook Ghanian food
Lilly Leal Carothers nice
We are doing 21 Daniel Fast at church only fruits and veg. Girls Abre, is not easy but God is in control. I come to watch AdomHomeCooking videos and it fills me up. Thank you Jesus, i hope this is not cheating
+Missy Kay Haha, if it wont tempt you to go looking for food , lol
+Missy Kay To funny Missy Kay. I know my sistah...Don't worry our Lord is a forgiving God. LOL
This was sooo funny. All for Jesus. Chop well after
lol missy kay....
Each West African country has its own way of cooking Jollof rice. I love both Senegalese theibou dienn and Ghanaian jollof. Let's accept & enjoy differences in local taste :)
Yuko Eky Yadatsu yes😊
You're right!!
Aunty, thank you for a wonderful recipe! I am an Indian girl trying to cook Jollof rice & it came out exactly like my Ghanian friend's Jollof! You explained everything well, this was so helpful! :-) x
Thanks Sarah Maria for you feedback. cheers and enjoy more recipes. Check our face book page too.
try Nigerian jollof. it originated there and is the best
jollof rice is originally from Senegal.
Vanessa Anthony did you do research before that dumb comment lol. It came from Senegambia the wollof ppl. Other Africans call it jollof cause it came from them. They don't call it jollof.
wish me luck.....first attempt on making this for my half Ghanaian boo for Valentine's dinner....hopefully I'll make him proud as I'm from the east side of Africa and we don't do jollof...can't forget my roots and it's only fair if I dab into my boos to.
+Tabitha Watiri Just saw this, how did it go dear, were you able to impress yourself n your other half?
Something unfortunate came up so had to postpone it.....Today is the Big Day 😀😊 just doing some preparation and I'll be all sorted.x
how did you go? did you cook it properly? did it taste good? did your half ghanaian boo like it? did you like it?
Thanks for your detailed instructions. I am Jamaican and i am going to buy the ingredient and try making this tomorrow.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I made it for my Ghanaian husband, and he absolutely loved it! I love your videos because I am learning so much about traditional Ghanaian cooking from you. Thank you and may God continue to bless.
Heyyyyy my sister. That look so good. I fell in love with Ghana food from a previous marriage.
By the way in Ghana where we are from another part of the jollof which siblings will fight for is the under of the jollof - which is usually a tad bit burnt (not black burnt but golden brown burn) and very crispy to chew, we call it " Jollof Shishi - shishi in ga simply means bottom. :) - if you serve me jollof and you dont include that i wont eat it. ITs like the icying on the cake for me. Even the process of scraping the bottom part gives me happy goose pimples. i love it. i love your videos and recipes
I'm not from Ghana I'm Haitian but I know what you're talking about. We Haitians call that Gratin. I don't blame you that part of the rice does taste good.
Carpet Paaa? i have to start using that word. Jollof Carpet :) hahahaha
In my house we call it Kanzo
Same
Watching this in 2020 has reminded me how Nigerian jollof 🇳🇬cooking process has changed over the years and now the majority of Nigerians cook it similarly to that of the Ghanaian jollof 🇬🇭 process, thanks to CZcams 😁. 7 yrs ago the cooking was different.
Now that is the jallof rice I remember eating from my coworker 20 years ago! I will try this recipe. I also remember one with a bit of shrimp taste. Thank you for sharing, God Bless.
Thank you, lets know how it goes dear. all the best

I have been craving Jollof rice lately. Back in grad school my dear friend Theodora use to make large pans of it for me to freeze and have whenever I wanted. It was so good. She didn't add meat and it was still delicious. I don't like it too spicy either.

Great video. Have used it to cook jollof rice in Scotland for my Ghanaian boyfriend! :)
Hello auntie, what kind of pepper and how much of it did you put into this? I've never made jollof before, but this looks a lot like what a dear friend of mine used to make, and I'd like to give it a go - he's no longer with us to share his recipe, unfortunately, but this really reminds me of the jollof he used to make for us. It looks delicious!
My dear u can cook very well🍜🍜🍜🍜
Can you please make a video on making Chinkafa, I'm dying to cook it for my friend he is Ghanaian. I've made Jollof and I am told Chinkafa is prepared the same however different ingredients. I have looked for it everywhere and come up empty. I had it once and really loved it. Please help
