I am a 12 year old and i am nigerian. My mom makes this all the time for partys. I didnt really need the recipe since i know it by heart but to add spice to it. i add 2 tankespoons of peperika to get the kick of spicyness inside of it. Also i use about 5 bay leafs because i have a bay leaf garden. I would recommend using more because it really doesnt affect the rice. Great recipe!
