In a large pot, heat 1½ cups of oil. Add bay leaves, green cardamom, cloves, cinnamon sticks and black cardamom. Sauté for a few seconds. Add one finely chopped onion and sauté until light golden/pink. Add 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste. Add 3–4 tbsp Mandi masala, 1 tbsp turmeric powder, 2 tsp red chilli powder and 3 tsp salt. Cook the masala well. Add the juice of one lemon and 2 whole dried black lemons. Add 11 cups of water for 6 cups of rice. Bring the water to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, add a little saffron and then add the soaked rice. Cook until the water is completely absorbed and the rice is cooked. In a separate pan, heat 2 tbsp desi ghee. Roast cashews, almonds and raisins until lightly golden. Set aside. Arrange the cooked chicken pieces over the prepared Mandi rice. For the smoky flavour, place a small bowl with a hot charcoal piece on top of the rice. Pour 1 tbsp desi ghee over the charcoal and immediately cover the pot with a lid. Let it smoke for 10 minutes. Remove the charcoal and serve hot. #ChickenMandi #MandiRecipe #ArabianMandi #ChickenRecipe #MandiRice #HomemadeMandi #RestaurantStyleMandi #ChickenRice #EasyChickenRecipe #Foodie
