Biryani vs Mandi: what's the difference?

Biryani layers marinated meat and partly cooked rice, then seals the pot to finish on dum (slow steam). The result is rich and heavily spiced.

Mandi comes from Yemen. The meat is roasted or smoked separately and served over lightly spiced rice. It's milder, smoky, and usually served on a big platter to share.
