ABOUT Raan-E- Sikandari /Shaan-E-Raan RECIPE

Sikandari Raan is a historical dish. It traces back to the time when Alexander The Great defeated King Porus and when asked how he would like to be treated, he said he want to be treated as a king. It was then that Alexander ordered a great banquet for him and this raan was served. Since Alexander is also famously known as Sikandar, hence this dish gets the name. Traditionally it is slow cooked in a large pit, with meat wrapped in a cloth and closing the pit with mud and burning coals so that mud and other dirt does not get inside it. It can also be baked in an oven wrapped in aluminium foil.
