skinnylatte, I was watching a Nigerian recipe for jollof and struck by how there are so many similarities between Asian and African cooking cultures.
The auntie I was watching did this thing where she made a spice paste and 'fried' it in copious amounts of oil until 'the spices and oil separate'. Almost exactly the same as what we call 'pecah minyak' (oil breaking) in Malay.
No wonder I love West African foods so much.
