Mandi Rice is a traditional rice and meat one pot dish of the Hadhrami people from the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, that's now becoming an international favorite. Traditionally cooked in earthen oven underground to maintain the juiciness and 'dewy' texture of the meat, many recipes have now been tweaked to suit modern kitchen while still maintaining the unique flavor and texture of the dish.
Filled with various aromatic spices, the dish is very fragrant and full of flavor yet it's not hot or spicy in the Biryani kind of way.
The rice is cooked in stock made with marinated meat or chicken, made full of flavor from both the meat and spices used as well as having the meat infused with herbs and spices. The meat is later oven grill to further enhance the flavor. This is also a very healthy dish, as no additional oil are required in it's preparation.
While many always believe that cooking Mandi Rice is complicated and time coming, it's been proven that it's one of the easiest pilaf style dish to make, well with Hadhrami Mandi from Athene Spices at least 😉
