Chicken Mandi Recipe. Originating from Yemen, Mandi is a fragrant, spiced rice dish topped with tender, smoky-roasted chicken. The chicken is marinated in a blend of saffron, black pepper, turmeric, and cumin, then slow-cooked to perfection over a bed of aromatic basmati rice infused with cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and bay leaves. A unique touch of charcoal smoke enhances the dish, giving it an irresistible, rich flavor. Served with a refreshing Daqoos sauce, a blend of tomato, garlic, coriander, and lemon juice, this Chicken Mandi is the perfect combination of spice, aroma, and succulence. Whether you’re cooking for a family gathering or a special occasion, this recipe will bring the taste of traditional Arabian cuisine right to your table. Enjoy a restaurant-quality dish made easily at home!
