Behind The Blend: Roast Lamb Raan
Legend has it that Sikandari Raan was first prepared in 327 BC for Alexander the Great’s wedding feast when he married Roxanne, daughter of Oxyartes, a king of the Hindu Kush region, which Alexander (or Sikandar as he was known in India) had just conquered.
This special leg of lamb preparation was also eaten at the battlefield banquet held to celebrate the legendary friendship of the great conqueror with King Paurava of Takshila.
Ever since, eating raan has become a symbol of friendship and binding ties.
