Tip–To achieve a stronger smoky flavor, traditional caterers in West Africa do 2 things - Intentionally allow the base of the jollof rice to burn a bit on high heat in first 10 mins.
- Then lower heat to medium for the rest of the cooking time while pot stays covered so the burn base can further smoke the rest
