The Mandi comes from the Arabic word nada which means dew and reflects the moist dewy texture of the meat. Mandi is the traditional dish of Yemen and originated from Hadhramaut in Yemen which is so popular in the Middle East and among the Hadharem people. Mandi is made up of rice, meat, or chicken with a mixture of spices and cooked in the taboon or tandoor which is a special kind of oven.
Mandi is mainly served along with the tomato paste known as Shatta, Garlic sauce, Mayonnaise, and Raita. Mandi was introduced by the Chaush community in Barkas in Hyderabad.
