|| Sikandari Raan Recipe || Indian-Spiced Leg of Lamb in Rich Creamy gravy ||

The official name of this ancient dish is Sikandari Raan, which translates to “Alexander’s Lamb.”
The story: Alexander the Great captured the Indian King Porus in battle, with great difficulty, around 300 BC. When asked how he wanted to be treated in captivity, Porus answered, “Like a king.” Alexander released Porus and agreed to be his friend. The barbecued whole leg of lamb was the highlight at the battlefield banquet held to celebrate the new legendary friendship
of the Great Alexander (or Sikandar) with Porus of Takshila.
