A plate of fluffy long grain white rice served with a savoury coconut sauce built from coconut milk, rich broth and mixed vegetables, seasoned with Thai chili, herbs and spices.
The sauce is creamy and lightly sweet from the coconut, then cut through by a clean chilli heat that keeps every mouthful interesting. The vegetables add colour and freshness, and the rice is steamed plain so it can carry the sauce properly. Spice level is moderate and comfortable for most diners.
It makes an easy, comforting plate for lunch or dinner. Order online for pickup or delivery in Kigali, or come and eat it freshly plated at Jollof Bistro.
