Mandy Rice

The rice


The chicken


A couple of weeks ago I made this Chicken Mandy Rice ...I must tell ya, it is the most sought after food in the house. Everyone loves it especially the kids. Adib can have 3 serving sometimes. The recipe was from a blog ..forgot the name, this Malaysian lady was based in Jordan or Egypt, don't know whether she still is. Anyway, u have to blend all the ingredients in making the spices beforehand which is then used to marinate the chicken, It is called Kabsa Spice...then u just marinate the chicken for 1/2 hr before roasting in oven for 1 hr fully wrapped in aluminum foil with slices of lemon n onion rings. After an hr or so uncover the chicken n roast for another 15mins so the skin become dark n charred...walla.....U will get just like the picture above....ops, don't forget to sprinkle salt all over chicken before roasting.


As for the rice ..well its the easiest of all...unlike Briyani...I just used Ghee, onion, ginger n garlic which were sliced thinly n long..fry with star anise, cardamon, cinnamon...as usual, in making Arab rice, we only use Basmathi rice ok....
so easy....for me Mandy Rice is way easier than Chicken Rice...
