Some dishes aren’t just meals — they feel like a royal feast of aroma and flavor. And nothing embodies that indulgence quite like ZAFF Chicken Mandi. With tender, spiced chicken, fragrant basmati rice, and the golden touch of ZAFF Aroma Spray, every bite is rich, aromatic, and unforgettable. Perfect for festive dinners or special gatherings.

Method

Marinate the chicken with yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and the Mandi spice mix, letting it rest for 1–4 hours to absorb the flavors deeply.

Roast the chicken at 220°C for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180°C and continue roasting for 35–45 minutes until fully cooked and golden.

Sauté sliced onions in oil or ghee, add whole spices, then stir in basmati rice, water or stock, and salt. Cook until the rice is fluffy and aromatic.

Lightly spray ZAFF Aroma over the hot rice just before serving, infusing it with delicate saffron fragrance and golden allure.

Serve the roasted chicken atop the fragrant rice, presenting a visually stunning and indulgent dish that celebrates both flavor and aroma.

Good food doesn’t need to be complicated — just beautifully balanced. Was this your golden winner, chef?
