Jollof is best served hot, No one likes a cold plate of Jollof. It has also been known to taste better with a few of these:

Plantain:  a tropical fruit with similarities to the banana. It can be cooked, roasted, and fried. As an accompaniment to our jollof, it is best fried in oil. Fried plantain is popularly known as Dodo in Nigeria, a West African country and for us, it is the best side for plantain.

2.     Coleslaw: This is only popular when serving jollof as a family dish. It is harder to produce on a large scale for events and is not typically the go-to side for many Africans. It consists of shredded vegetables like Cabbage, Lettuce, carrots, and some other additions based on personal preference, mixed with mayonnaise.
