About Yemeni mandi

Yemeni Mandi is a flavorful traditional dish that originates from Yemen’s Hadramawt region. Widely enjoyed across the Arabian Peninsula, it typically consists of tender marinated meat, often lamb or chicken, and fragrant basmati rice cooked with a blend of spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. The meat is traditionally slow-cooked in a tandoor, giving it a smoky aroma and succulent texture. Mandi is rich in protein from the meat and contains essential nutrients from the aromatic spices, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The rice is seasoned with minimal oil, making it lighter compared to other rice-based dishes. However, depending on preparation, the dish can be high in saturated fat, especially if fattier cuts of meat are used. Moderating portion sizes and pairing Mandi with vegetables or salads can help maintain a balanced meal.
