Oh man I miss working with a girl from Ghana who used to make big batches of this to share with us! She usually made it with goat meat for the protein.
Oh, yum! This is freaking delicious, and I have a bag of rice I can totally use for it! African food from all over that continent is delicious, and never gets the love it deserves! Good to see it getting that love here! Thanks Dr.Karan for another great recipe!
@@nmpoy Yeah it's originally Senegalese, hence the name Jollof, ancient Kingdom located in what's now Senegal. But the Senegalese "Jollof" (Thiebou jen) is more complex, and in my opinon tastes better as well.
@@alFaCentauri16 you’re excluding gambia. jollof comes from the word wolof, who are an ethnic group majorly in senegal and gambia. and it’s not more complex, nigerian jollof is just a poor copy and overuse of tomatoes. original jollof does not use tomatoes excessively like they do
@@nmpoy I didn't exclude it, it's just not as much popular in Gambia as far as I know. And the dish was created in the city of Saint Louis, which is located in the North of Senegal.
@@alFaCentauri16 it’s not as popular in gambia??? lmao yeah that’s definitely something someone who’s never been to gambia would say. fyi it’s an every day dish in gambia and we call it benachin. look it up
Anything can be turned healthy if we cook it out without adding too much spice, harmful ingredients, salt,sugar etc. Even fried food can become healthier with less processed material, better quality oil, using the oil at optimal temperatures and not overcooking or undercooking food. You can also drain oil by using napkins. Eat a lot of fibre, protein and remain moderate on carbs your health will drastically improve. Snack on nuts and fruits because instant foods don't really give you nutrients and enough fiber to be energetic.
Loving this series! Would love a short with your thoughts on Kefir and one on the Alzheimers UK study about Inulin and FOS - I’m not clear on what to eat to supplement those or what supplements may include those specifically! You’re so good at explaining accessibly and with helpful tips :)
Dr Karan you're book is amazing and all your vids too but I have severe bile malabsorption, emphasis on the word severe, pakistani in origin and very well versed in all the amazing recipes and remedies you suggest, but man do I struggle like hell whether its daals, vegs, whilst waiting for dietitian input, someone suggested the FODMAP diet but even that includes things like bell peppers etc which still upset me, such a minefield to navigate 😔 but love your work you're amazing 👏 💪👏💯🤞❤️
This series is actually a blessing. This is an age of sh*t food and no one knows what is healthy and what is not. It's a relief when a health expert shares recipes like this...because we can be sure that health comes first here and not flexing your cooking skills...
@@waveril5167Not everyone can handle being vegetarian though. Me and several friends of mine all tried. We got severely malnourished as a result. The doctor of one friend of mine even told him that he has to at least eat fish in order to stay healthy. I respect what you guys do for the planet through the diet you choose, but please respect that it's not the healthiest choice for everyone.
ah yes, cause eating fake meat that took 20 ingredients to make (some able to cause other health problems) to swap out the single whole food is better for you... As someone with Crohn's, I respectfully ask you to stop the cap. Whole foods from each food group is better for our systems, and I try my best to limit processed foods. You'll only see downsides of eating meat if you don't do moderation.
This is my kinda video - short, snappy and amusing. (I’m not into watching someone chop vegetables in real time). I actually giggled at the end, and I don’t giggle very often. The last time I did was probably 1993.
Someone told me of this Korean syrup they make called Cheong/Chung. You layer equal parts fruit and refined white sugar and let it sit at room temp for 2 months. The sugar pulls out all the moisture and turns into a very flavour dense syrup that has (supposedly) changed all the monosaturated sugars into polyunsaturated sugars. According to some random google searches, this makes it safe for even diabetics and is booming with the optimum flavour of the fruits used. I would love to see Dr. Karan cover such a syrup (if all of that is true).
I appreciate that your culinary advice is for an average person but my poor active chrohns disease wouldn't let me eat any of your cooking. Between the fibre and the capsaicin I would have a very bad few days. Any advice for thise of us stuck on a simple low residue, low volume diet with nutrition shake support while we wait for treatment?
Hey Dr Karan, would it be possible to make a video on air frying and it's higher potential to produce more carcinogens compared to other usual cooking methods when it is 'dry heating' the food?
You made a good choice saying West Africa instead of a specific country, because it's a normal misconception that you'll get proper jollof in Nigeria when you do in fact need to go to Ghana for that.
@DrKaran Hey just wondering, is there a safe early age to start weight training? I used to here weight training stunts growth, but now it says its safe. My son does a lot of sport and wants to work out with me, obviously there's risk so it would be low weight , but can it affect growth? And can he start as early as 7,?
Jollof Rice: 1 x Red Pepper 1x Chilli Pepper 2 x Tomatoes Ginger (about 2 'cloves') 3 x Garlic cloves 2 x Red Onions Olive Oil Spices Tomato puree 1- 2 tbsp Paprika spice 2 tbsp Tumeric 1 tbsp Rice Put ingredients into oven with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Thank you Doctor Karan for making such fun and informative videos on gut health instead of promoting supplements like some other doctors... (cough)...(huberman)..
I love it when it extra spicy with red hot African chilli pepper. 🔥 🥵 with some friend beef chiken or mackerel/croaker fish 😋 not forget some to add salad at the side. Jellof Rice all the way. 😋
Hi, Love your videos. Question Every time I eat lentils, beans , chickpeas, broccoli, cauliflower, or radish, I get bloated like a balloon. So much that people ask if I'm pregnant. Also...gasses.. As Arabs alot of our dishes depend on these foods. Could u please explain why that happens and how I could prevent it? Thx in advance

When he said there's never too much garlic, I knew we were on the same wavelength with food prep. Amen
Onions too! That's a principle I live my life by!
You can never go wrong with Onions and Garlics
Garlic and cheese are the things that areeasured by heart, not by whatever measurement is in the recepcie :-)
As a Nigerian, it makes me happy seeing this. Thanks for all that you do for the health world! Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks! :)
Screaming in Nigerian!!!
Yes, Dr. Karan, you nailed it! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you my friend!
@@DrKaran always!👍🏾
Every African auntie will agree, plus it's delicious 😋
Very

Nice!
Doc, you are doubling as a chef, love the recipe and explanation. Please do more of these in your 30 hour a day schedule.😂😂😂😂
I love dis series, we get to learn about healthy meals and try food from around the world
Yes!
Love all the recipes. Keep ‘‘em coming Dr. Karan!
:)
I have so much respect for this guy. The most humblest Dr i know. GOD bless you 🙏🏽

I dunno if he knows this, but he has summoned the Nigerians. 😂
I really appreciate you taking the time to post these recipes. Thank you 🙏 ❤
oh wow - Nigeria food never really gets major love, this was a pleasant surprise
who told you jollof rice is nigerian food? do you even know what jollof means?

At this point , anything you eat gonna be gut friendly 😂
if it is cooked by this guy
If it is home cooked with natural herbs, spices, fruit and vegetables it is.

I cannot tell you how thankful I am for these recipes.
I love how as you move more towards the east the spices in the foods become greater.
I recently discovered "pounded hard boiled eggs" and I've been adding them as a thickener to my cheesy chilli rice
What are they please? I've searched but it keeps showing me result for 'perfect hard boiled eggs'
Thank you so much for this series ❤❤❤
We eat it so often, I'm tired of it. It's good to know it's good for my gut😅
Bro's expressions are natural af
Lol
That looks sooo yummy ❤ And mo meats in it, which is a total plus for me as a vegetarian 🥰
LOVING the series peace and love brother💜
Jollof rice with chicken is one of my favourite Nigerian meal😋🤤
:)
This is a great series and needs its own playlist. Up your game by putting the recipe in grams and in the UA-cam description.
Oh boy! I'd better grab the best toilet paper I have in the house for tomorrow's dinner! 😂
Hahaa
Wow, that dish looked so good I wish I could make it!

Nahh I came here to see the Nigerians in the comment section😂🇳🇬
Thanks for the health tip, doc!

I wanted to make jollof few months ago but coudnt make time, so tnx for reminding me!
Doc, as a Ghanaian, I approve of this jollof.❤
The one food I could never get sick of
It’s hella good

When I saw Jollof rice i was shook😂 Something we eat for enjoyment is actually so healthy.
The IBS in me be crying.
I'm so happy you know what jollof rice is.
As a Ghanaian 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾spot on where’s the meat though?😂
Haha
Vegetarian is healthier and better for the planet and better for the animals, so win win win.

It looks like what we call a ''guiso'' in Argentina
Solid recipe Dr. Karan! Do you take the bay leaves out after simmering? Or do you blend the entire leaf into the paste?
Nigerians are definitely proud ❤
Anyone who's never had jollof, please go to your nearest west african restaurant and try some. it slaps
Facts
That looks so good. In a show down of Jollof Rice and Biryani, which one is gonna win?
Made this today, it was great
Good making it!
Watching this after deciding to eat my leftover jollof instead of ordering takeaway😋 positive reinforcement >>>
Very good
I love joloff rice thanks to Tobi from the Sidemen.
:)
FanTASTIC meal
I love you Dr Karan 💓
could you upload an actual recipe for each video of this series would. be great to follow along
The thumbnail always gets me😂
I don’t think I’ve ever had jollof rice, but it looks good! Now I’m going to google a few recipes 😊
Absolutely!
Cue Nigeria vs. Ghana Jollof wars! Lol I’ve been present for that *spirited discussion* once. I just kept shoveling in my mouth bc delicious 😂
I’m staying away from
That discussion thank you very much lol
So yummy .. thank you
Who would have thought that jollof rice 🍚 will be part of this guy friendly food series 💞☺️🥰❤️🤩
:)
I appreciate that your culinary advice is for an average person but my poor active chrohns disease wouldn't let me eat any of your cooking. Between the fibre and the capsaicin I would have a very bad few days.

Yum and thankyou! ❤😊
Happy bowel action ❤️😂
When's the cookbook coming out?
Hey Dr Karan, would it be possible to make a video on air frying and it's higher potential to produce more carcinogens compared to other usual cooking methods when it is 'dry heating' the food?
I can already feel the toilet seats 🥲
My gut, thanks you 😊😊😊
What if we're colorblind? This rainbow remark hit me in the feelz.
Love some Jollof rice 🍚

Bro add an indian accent and he’ll sound like that one indian shop owner at the food court😂
I'm sold. On the way to the grocery store
character Dr Karan with batik is unlocked
Haha
Nice to know i can eat jollof guilt free 😊
Perhaps you can give me some recommendations as to what need to add to my diet to knock my A1C and blood sugar back down to healthy levels fast.
Nice ✊😎👍👍👍
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 nice one Doc
this looks so good, and knowing the nutrition behind it makes these videos way too good for youtube
Haha
Bro is Indo-British Uncle Iroh.
Im very impressed with your cooking skills.
Thanks!
@@DrKaran Your welcome sweetie.😁💋
What's the liquid you put in near the end? I've always wanted to make this. I assume it's veg stock of some description.
Jollof Rice:
1 x Red Pepper
1x Chilli Pepper
2 x Tomatoes
Ginger (about 2 'cloves')
3 x Garlic cloves
2 x Red Onions
Olive Oil
Spices
Tomato puree 1- 2 tbsp
Paprika spice 2 tbsp
Tumeric 1 tbsp
Rice
Put ingredients into oven with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Then fry more red onion and garlic
Blits oven ingredients into a paste add into fry ingredients
Add herbs and spices. Rosemary, Bay leaves
Is the combination good enough without the peppers and chillies for those who can't eat them, or does it need to add some substitute?
Thank you Doctor Karan for making such fun and informative videos on gut health instead of promoting supplements like some other doctors... (cough)...(huberman)..
Haha thanks man
It tastes good AND good for you! I'm sold.
Love jollof rice.
Correct
Bro gonna be in the toilet for hours 😂
I love it when it extra spicy with red hot African chilli pepper. 🔥 🥵 with some friend beef chiken or mackerel/croaker fish 😋 not forget some to add salad at the side.
Jellof Rice all the way. 😋
Hi,
Love your videos.
Question
Every time I eat lentils, beans , chickpeas, broccoli, cauliflower, or radish, I get bloated like a balloon.
So much that people ask if I'm pregnant. Also...gasses..
As Arabs alot of our dishes depend on these foods.
Could u please explain why that happens and how I could prevent it?
Thx in advance
Jollof rice from a restaurant in Soho reactivated my acne and near the lips no less. Then at home i had a massive diarrhoea.
I just ate Home made Hakka Noodles.
More veggies than noodles 🍜😋😋
Tomato, Onion, Carrot , Capcicum & Ginger garlic. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice that UA-cam says that you're a licensed doctor
Does the heat kill the vitamin c in this dish or is it still viable in the end?
anjaaaay batikan juga a? 😂😂
