Weekends deserve meals that feel a little more special yet are simple to prepare. Our Arabian Mandhi Rice Masala lets you recreate the royal taste and irresistible aroma of Middle Eastern Mandhi right in your kitchen. Made with the finest quality spices and completely MSG-free, it helps you serve a feast-worthy meal that brings pure joy to your family, friends, and even yourself.

Making Arabian Mandhi may seem an intimidating challenge for any new host or home cook to undertake, but with Shahi Riwayat’s Arabian Mandhi Rice Masala, your homemade Mandhi becomes a straightforward and enjoyable undertaking. The balanced spice blend, like salt, cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger and pepper, are ingredients made with some of the freshest through Shahi Riwayat sources. Each packet is purposely made to achieve the right balance of spices, so every bite will delight the palate with taste, aroma, and traditional authenticity.

You can make yummy Arabian Mandhi rice from our masala, here’s how. First, combine 2 tablespoons of oil, 1/2 cup of water and 1 packet of Shahi Riwayat Arabian Mandhi Rice Masala on a plate. Next, cover your choice of meat in that mixture and marinate for 45 - 50 minutes. That's it! In doing this, you allow the spices to penetrate the meat, which will have a wonderful flavor you will enjoy in every bite. 

 

Now, next you want to bring 2 cups of water to the boil in the pan and add the ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Then, add the marinated meat pieces to the contents (the stock) of the pan to cook the meat pieces all the way through. Once your meat is cooked, reserving the stock carefully to avoid losing anything, you want to take the meat out. You will strain the liquid and make sure you have enough stock from the liquid. You want to have about a total of 3½ cups. This stock has all the flavors from the masala and meat that will flavour each grain of rice later. 

In order to obtain a remarkable texture for the meat, heat 1/2 cup of oil or ghee in a pan and evenly fry the meat pieces on all sides. Set aside. Add the remaining oil in the pan, then fry onions until they turn golden brown. Add the prepared stock and let it boil. Check for salt if needed, then add rice that has been soaked and cook until finished. Spread the rice out on a serving plate and place the meat pieces on top of the rice. There is your fragrant flavorful Arabian Mandhi, ready to serve.

Shahi Riwayat’s Arabian Mandhi Rice Masala is all about helping you cook easier but without compromising taste. The combination of cumin and coriander has a warm and earthy base. Garlic and ginger add a gentle kick of flavor, and black pepper provides just the right amount of heat for Arabian Mandhi. This combination produces genuine taste and experience while remaining simple and easy.
