After this process, place your clean pot on heat, add your vegetable oil, then pour in your chopped onions and fry it for some minutes, add your already tried up grinded tomato and pepper mix, then fry it for about 15 minutes after that add your tomato puree. Cook until the tomatoes sour taste is out and the oil begin to rise to the top. After all this, take out a few part of the stew and set it aside. Add your meat to the pot on heat and allow it to boil for some time. Then add your curry, tyme, salt to taste and your seasoning stock cubes and allow it to boil for another 5 minutes. Add your already parboiled rice into the stew on heat and mix it thoroughly then cover the pot and leave to cook on a medium heat. When the stew in the rice is almost dried up, add the remaining portion of stew to the top of the stew then cover the pot and allow to simmer until there is no more liquid in the rice. Mix it thoroughly and your jellof rice is ready to be served. Enjoy your meal.
