TOP SIX RICE RECIPES THAT EVERY NIGERIAN WIFE MUST LEARN HOW TO COOK.No 3 will shock you.

Rice is a very common food in every part of the world. It popularity in Nigeria is even on a higher scale. An average Nigeria party without rice is no party at all. And just like every other part of the world that has a special rice recipe, Nigeria is not left out. There are basically six different rice recipes that are common in Nigeria and my dear bachelor, spinster or student, not knowing how to cook these recipes before marrying that foodie or leaving for school can be catastrophic. Okay let's help one another out with this recipes.
6.
On the number six spot we have coconut rice. Sincerely this rice recipe is not in the rear because its bad. On the contrary, it is also sweet that you wont get enough of this food. The only thing that makes it number six is because it is not everyday and every body's food and the stress that comes with grating coconut for the juice. And while many people like to add the shredded flesh of coconut, i Just like my coconut rice with just the juice and some veggies.
5.
On number five we have local jollof rice: of course this rice recipe made the list. This recipe is the combination of traditional and foreign. I love this recipe because almost the ingredients used are the same local ingredients that graces our daily delicacies and gives our kitchen that aroma of home. The likes of locust beans (iru, dadawa), red palm oil, dried fish, blended crayfish and vegetables like ugwu (pumpkin leaves), spinach (efo, alewo, green) are all the exclusive ingredients to this delicious rice recipe. If you are yet to try this or if its been a while, just click on this link to get the complete recipe for this food.
4.
Fried Rice: Without all doubt, if Nigerian fried rice is not on this list then "watin I gain". If you are a typical Nigerian, you will agree with me that not only is fried rice popular in our homes, eateries and restaurants, it is also a top demands in our owanbes (parties). In short, it is the immediate younger brother to our very own Jollof rice. I love this recipes because, when  it is cooked properly, it can be very healthy, interestingly sweet and colourful.

3.
Concoction rice: Unarguably, concoction rice is worth the top three position of this rice recipes list. This recipe earned it spot because of how popular it is, how easy it is to cook and because it is a low cost budget recipe. It is mostly popular amongst students in tertiary institutions, bachelors who are either too busy to cook or don't know how to cook (I didn't say anything ooo) and family who run a low budget cooking system. This recipe is so unique, in that there is no particular order in cooking it. In fact, any jollof that does not look or taste like jollof rice is said to be concoction rice. Here is a concoction recipe you should check out
2.
Our second position goes to boiled white rice and stew. This rice recipe, without doubt, happens to be one of the first recipes prepared with rice. It holds a special place in our hearts and in our homes. And I tell you this, one can hardly get tired of the recipe because, the different sauce that accompanies this boiled rice are limitless. When you think you have gotten enough of rice and fish stew, then comes chicken stew, turkey stew, imoyo stew, Ayamase sauce and even pepper soup  (yes! I eat this often times). I tell you this, if you can be spontaneous and adventurous with your sauces and stews, you won't get tired of boiled white rice.

The recipe that has a day of the year set aside to celebrate and enjoy your existence, you no day, party no sweet, everybody, I give you JOLLOF RICE. Yes, all those cognomen for a rice recipe alone. That is to show how much importance people attach to jollof rice. This is the first food that comes to mind when you mention celebration and party in Nigeria. While this recipe is closely related to the American jambalaya and the Indian Pilau rice, Nigerian jollof rice is so unique, that it is very tasty, spicy, well flavoured, beautiful, all at the same time.
