Chicken Mandy with Rice (Nasi Mandi Ayam)
•
It’s Ramadan and every few days or so we inevitably end up breaking fast with friends or family at one of the many wonderful iftar sessions, be it at restaurants and five-star hotels.

A portion of this recipe was used for the Emerilized Green Bean Casserole, and the rest was served as a…
