Beef Mandi is a fragrant rice and meat dish, where tender beef is cooked with a blend of aromatic spices, then layered over fluffy basmati rice. Onions, garlic, green chilies, and tomato build the base of the stew, before the beef simmers until meltingly soft. The spiced broth then becomes the cooking liquid for the rice, ensuring every grain is infused with flavor. Once the rice is cooked, the beef pieces return to steam gently on top, allowing all the elements to meld. For an extra layer, you can add a smoky touch right before serving.
