Coconut Rice: Nigeria's Fragrant Favourite

Coconut rice is a fragrant West African one-pot dish in which long-grain rice is simmered in coconut milk instead of plain water, so every grain turns soft, glossy and gently sweet with a warm, nutty aroma.

At Jollof Bistro — The Best Nigerian Food in Kigali, we cook ours fresh in Remera so you catch that coconut fragrance the moment the lid lifts.

Plantain Three Ways: Dodo, Boli and Porridge

The three most-loved ways Nigerians cook plantain are dodo (ripe plantain fried into sweet, golden slices), boli (whole plantain roasted over coals until smoky), and plantain porridge (firmer plantain simmered into a hearty one-pot meal).
