Chef tips
To achieve that authentic smoky Mandi aroma, place a hot coal in a small foil bowl with a drop of oil in the center of the pot and cover tightly for a few minutes to let the smoke infuse. To elevate the dish, top the rice and chicken with blanched almonds and sautéed raisins. Serve with a spicy tomato salad with cilantro and garlic to balance the rich spices.
