💡 Tip: If you cannot find Ofada rice, use fragrant local brown rice; basmati tastes too clean to carry the traditional body of the sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: If banana leaves are unavailable, portion the rice on parchment paper and serve as a hearty main with fried plantain and cold ayran if desired.
