Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci has announced plans to use 250 bags of Basmati Rice for her upcoming Guinness World Record attempt at cooking the largest pot of Jollof rice.
The record-breaking cooking challenge, which has already generated massive excitement among food lovers and fans of Nigerian cuisine, is set to further showcase the country’s rich culinary culture on the global stage.
