Chicken Mandi Recipe
#Chicken - Chicken Mandi is a traditional Yemeni style Biryani prepared with a special Mandi spice powder, that gives this classic dish a nice aroma. It is very popular in all the Middle Eastern countries and is considered as a great party recipe. This fragrant biryani is relished with Dakkous, a spicy tomato sauce. Chicken Mandi is suprisingly a very easy recipe, inspite of having a large medley of ingredients to prepare. It also resembles Kashmiri yakhni pulao to some extent, except for the fact that there is the use of dried lime, saffron and dry fruits, apart from the most important - freshly ground Mandi spice powder. Traditionally, it is cooked in an underground pit. It can also be cooked in a pot, on a stove top or in an oven. However, I went in for a quick pressure cooking method.
