chicken mandi

The Arabian Chicken Mandi Recipe is a delicious preparation of chicken cooked with mandi powder served over a layer of basmati rice. It is packed with flavours and taste of the perfect blend of spices. Serve it along with raita for a delicious meal.

The word 'mandi' comes from the Arabic word nada, meaning 'dew', and reflects the moist ‘dewy’ texture of the meat. The Mandi Masala is a spice mixture made by dry roasting whole spices which give the main flavour to this dish.

Mandi is a delicious combination of rice, chicken and a mixture of spices. Traditionally, Mandi is cooked in a tandoor but this is our version to make the Mandi at home on a stovetop.  Mandi is considered as healthy meal when compared to our traditional Indian biryani, as we use less oil  in the 

recipe.
