Welcome to KegosKitchen, this blog is born out of a passion for cooking and I would be taking you on a jolly food ride.
The Jollof rice is one of the most popular dishes in West Africa especially Nigeria where I come from. Recently there has been internet meltdown with different memes on which Jollof rice is better; Nigerian or Ghanaian but I simply say tell them KegosKicthen Jollof rice is the best.
The key to the best Jollof rice is to burn your pot! Yes that’s right you must burn your pot lol.
Asun is a popular yoruba dish almost a must have at every party and popular side meal for evening relaxation. Now,I didn’t make it the traditional way using a grill, I had to improvise with an oven. My way came out perfect !!
I hope you enjoy my recipes, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
