Mandi is a traditional dish originating from Yemen. It is made of rice and meat, typically chicken or lamb, that is slow-cooked in a tandoor oven or clay pot. The meat is marinated in spices and herbs such as saffron, ginger, cardamom, and turmeric, and then layered with basmati rice and vegetables such as onions and tomatoes. The dish is usually served with a tomato-based sauce and a sprinkle of raisins and almonds. Mandi is considered a staple food in Yemen and is often served on special occasions or for guests. It is known for its rich and aromatic flavors and is considered one of the most popular dishes in Yemeni cuisine.
