Step by Step
- Boil the rice until halfway cooked, 8 minutes. Rinse the rice in cold water and drain and set it aside.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of GuDee Palm Oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger to the pot and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, scotch bonnet pepper, and bouillon cubes. Stir and fry for 4 minutes. Add thyme and turmeric. Combine and stir for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and season as required.
- Add the rice and coat it completely with the palm oil mixture. Add 200ml of water and stir very well. Bring to a boil then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and all the liquid has been absorbed. Top up with water as required but in small batches if rice isn’t cooked.
- Add the curry leaves and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the bell peppers and simmer for a further 3 minutes.
- Serve with grilled or roasted chicken legs and salad.
