About Mandi

Mandi is a traditional dish from Yemeni cuisine, celebrated for its rich, aromatic flavors. Typically, it consists of long-grain basmati rice cooked with tender, spiced meat, such as chicken or lamb, and slow-cooked in special underground ovens for an authentic smoky taste. The dish is seasoned with a blend of spices including turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron, which not only enhance its flavor but also offer antioxidant properties. Mandi is packed with protein and carbohydrates, making it a filling and energy-boosting meal. However, its nutritional balance can vary depending on the cut of meat and amount of fat used. Served with a side of fresh salad or yogurt, it can be complemented for a healthier profile. While delicious and hearty, Mandi is often prepared with generous amounts of oil or ghee, which may contribute to high calorie content if consumed in excess.
