Chicken Mandi

Ingredients

Chicken:
• 1/2 chicken with bones and skin, cut up in two pieces
• 4 teaspoon Mandi Spices
• 2 teaspoon salt
Rice:
• 1-1/2 cups rice
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 tomato, diced
• 4 whole cardamom pods
• 4 whole cloves
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 chicken bouillon cubes
• 3 cups water

Instructions

1. First marinate the chicken and let it lie for a bit. Give it 10-20 minutes.
2. Fry it without any oil. Let it fry on both sides, for a total of 40-50 minutes. Take your time.
3. As this is being done, make your rice. Fry the onions until transulent, then add everything else except the water. Let it come to a boil, add the rice. Simmer, for 20 minutes or so.
Notes
4. If you want the food to have a smokey smell to it, you can do this. Heat up a coal until red. Put some oil in an onion shell, add the coal in it, and place it in the rice pot. Place the chicken around it. Cover. Let it smoke for some minutes.
