Mandi – A Gastronomic Delight
Mandi is a traditional Arabic dish that has found its way into the hearts of Hyderabadis. It is prepared by slow-cooking marinated meat, typically mutton or chicken, over aromatic rice, with a blend of spices and herbs. The meat becomes incredibly tender and infused with rich flavours, while the rice absorbs the essence of the meat, resulting in a harmonious and mouthwatering combination.
