In a large pot, we heat the oil and ghee over medium heat, then add the chicken and stir it until it turns golden brown. After that, we add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, and continue stirring until the ingredients soften. Then we add the whole spices and mix well. After that, we add water and chicken broth, cover the pot, and let the chicken simmer for 45 minutes

After the boiling time is over, we remove the chicken and set it aside. We add the soaked rice to the broth in the pot and let it boil again, then we reduce the heat and cover the pot until the rice is cooked. We prepare the chicken marinade from yogurt, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, vegetable oil, and red food coloring, then we coat the chicken with the marinade

We place the rice on a serving dish, then put the marinated chicken on top of the rice and place it in the oven until it turns golden brown. We can also add hot charcoal on top of the chicken in the oven to achieve a smoky flavor. Then we serve the mandi with the rice, garnishing the dish with roasted nuts or chopped parsley
