Lamb Mandi: Traditional Recipe of Yemen

According to my research this recipe is the simple fried fish recipe, it can also be bake instead of fry.  This is also a traditional Yemeni dish from Hadhramaut, Yemen. It is also eate in many other Yemeni cities, such as Sana’s and Aden. It is now very popular in other areas of Arabian Peninsula, where my mother-in-law worked. It is also common in Egypt and Jordan.

The word “mandi” comes from Arabic word nada, meaning “dew” and reflects the moist ’dew’ texture of the meat.  Mandi is usually made from rice, meat (lamb, chicken) and a mixture of spices.  The meat used is usually a oung and small sized lamb to enhance the taste further.
