    Here’s a tip for added smokiness… hot charcoals/woodchips in a small cup, put it on top of the food and cover it. This technique is used for Thai desserts (but we use dessert candles) and กุรุหม่า kuruma (basically Thai/Indian korma)
    Also, you can add some fat to the charcoal so it smokes more. Like melted butter or oil

      @Meko Michelle Not to sound condescending, but Im speaking to you on a higher level of consciousness that many people in our community (who aren't actively studying other cultures) won't understand.
      The truth be told, Nigerians (and Africans/Caribbeans in general) do NOT view Black Americans as their brethren, they view us as ENEMIES because of their culture of tribalism....hence why so many of them call us "Akatas", and actively come to the United States intentionally trying to UNDERMINE us and our reparations claim, and assist our oppressors (until they inevitably turn on them)
      So when you say "we were robbed from our roots", I will just say YOU HAVE YOUR OWN CULTURE!!!
      Black Americans have their own culture (despite what AFRICANS say), we have our own food, lingo, music, struggles, history etc and never forget that.
      That being said, Nigerian food is pretty good, they definitely know how to throw down in the kitchen I'll give them their props.....but leave it at THAT

    Maybe to prevent the burn issue and be able to enjoy the burnt layer as well, you could try a Persian and Bangladeshi technique: place a layer of sliced potato at the bottom of a pot and after frying the rice, layer it on top of the potato and add water. The Persians call it Tahdig and the potato crisps up incredibly and the rice steams through on its own. It’s cheap enough to burn a potato or two as opposed to a bottom layer of basmati rice. And you can eat the potato afterward too!

I didn’t even have any bay leaf or garlic and ginger and thank God I don’t even like garlic or ginger. Plus I blended my pepper without water, the tomato served As my water so it was thick enough and I didn’t need roasting. My bf kept on telling me how delicious it was😭❤️❤️ and even me was proud of myself. I was literally feeling untop of the world. Thank you sooooo much ❤️❤️
