Crafting the Soul of Arabian-Inspired Flavors
The word “Mandi” stirs up images of a large platter filled with aromatic rice, tender meat, golden onions, and bold spices — a Middle Eastern delicacy with Yemeni roots that has found a loving home in many Indian kitchens. What gives mandi its signature flavor? The answer lies in the Mandi Masala — a unique spice blend that fuses earthiness, warmth, and smokiness.
At Allay Foods, we recreate this magic with a perfected Mandi Masala blend, allowing you to bring restaurant-style mandi into your home.
How to Use Mandi Masala
Whether you're making chicken, mutton, or even vegetable mandi, just a few teaspoons of Allay Mandi Masala can do wonders.
Basic Method:
Marinate the meat with yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and mandi masala.
Cook long-grain rice with onions, whole spices, and broth.
Combine cooked meat and rice, sprinkle a final dash of mandi masala.
Cover with foil and dum cook (slow steam) for 20 minutes.
For a smoky finish, place hot charcoal in a foil cup with ghee, cover and let the dish absorb the aroma for 5–10 minutes.
