Raan never fails to impress
The raan is one of those spectacular restaurant dishes that always create a stir when served at the table.
Usually described as a whole roast leg of mutton, it is typically vast and impressive; lots of red meat with a texture that is soft and melts in the mouth.
While some Indian restaurant menus abroad describe the raan as a leg of lamb, that’s not always accurate. A classic raan is never made with lamb. Most traditional Indian recipes use goat, which is slow-cooked until the meat is tender and ready to fall off the bone. It’s served on a bed of its own reduced gravy, alongside roasted vegetables and often rice.
