What is "Mandi"
"Mandi," or "المندي" in Arabic, is a traditional dish originating from Hadhramaut, Yemen, and has gained popularity across the Arabian Peninsula, including in Egypt and Jordan.
It is also cherished by the Hadhrami community in Kerala's Malabar region, India. The term "Mandi" is derived from the Arabic word 'nada', meaning 'dew,' reflecting the meat's tender, dewy texture.
Mandi has gained popularity in other Arab countries as well. Traditionally, the meat is slow-cooked in a tandoor (an underground oven), making it extremely tender and flavorful, and it is served over aromatic rice.
The spice rub used to marinate the meat (lamb or chicken) is called Hawaij – it consists of coriander seeds, cumin seeds, cardamom, black pepper corn, cloves, cinnamon, all roasted until aromatic and then ground into a powder.
