Jollof Rice Not Cooked Correctly. Please help. Where did I go wrong?

I used this recipe: https://www.dashofjazz.com/nigerian-jollof-rice/#%F0%9F%93%96-recipe

It’s a simplified Jollof rice recipe I’m trying to use for college.

Only mistake I’d say I made was using jasmine instead of parboiled rice, and I will use parboiled next time.

My rice came out undercooked and I had to throw it all away. No matter how long I let it sit, it was undercooked, hard, and uneatable (I let it sit out for over 1 hour past the initial 40 mins).

Where did I go wrong?

This made me really upset because I spent a long time trying to make this and money, just for it to not work out.

I’m hesitant to use this recipe again, but I can’t understand why it works out so horribly for me.
