Mandis is a traditional dish that originated from Yemen, consisting mainly of meat and rice with a special blend of spices cooked in a pit underground. It is extremely popular in the Middle East, and even considered as a staple dish in many regions.

LAMB SHANKS

3 kg Lamb Shanks
½ cup | oil
1 tbs | black peppercorns
1 tbs | cinnamon (whole)

¼ cup | garlic
¼ cup | ginger
2 tsp | salt
1 cup | water

½ cup | oil
2 small onions
1 large cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
4 dried lemons

½ cup | crushed garlic
3 tsp | salt
5 cardamoms
1 tsp | black peppercorns
1 tbs | mandi masala (link below)
1 tbs | chicken powder
1 tbs | lemon juice
6 cups | water

METHOD
Wash and soak the rice
Fry the chopped onions in oil until golden
Add all the above whole spices, the crushed garlic and green chili
I use 1 part rice to 1.5 parts water for cooking the rice, so I added 6 cups water for the 4 cups of rice
Add the salt and the rest of the spices
Add the rice and cook on high heat until all the liquid is gone and then put on low flame until the rice is done
Put the lemon juice on the prepared rice and smoke with the burnt coal

3 tbs | oil
5 potatoes
1 tsp | salt
3 tomatoes
3 peppers

No need to add any water, the moisture from the tomatoes and peppers will cook the potatoes
