In a large pot, heat the ghee or vegetable oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become soft and golden.

Add the chicken pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides.

Add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste to the pot, stirring everything together.

Allow the mixture to cook for a few minutes until the tomatoes break down and release their juices.

Add the biharat spice blend, ground cumin, ground coriander, and ground turmeric to the pot.

Stir well to incorporate the aromatic spices into the chicken Mandy.

Season with salt to taste and pour in the chicken broth.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the basmati rice.

Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chicken Mandy simmer for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.

Remove from heat and fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains.

Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or parsley.
