Mandi Sauce is very popular in almost all Arabian countries and is considered a must have dish with Mandi and other rice based dishes such as Kabsa. A beloved and favorite dish in Yemen, and the rest of the Arab world, Mandi is often served for occasional and special events such as weddings and feasts. Also termed as ‘Yemeni Sahawiq’, there is something very unique and special with the flavorful sauce. The sauce is typically prepared with fresh ingredients such as tomatoes, green chillies, lemon juice and coriander leaves.
