Today I will be making easy shwarma recipe made in a pan that is going to be wrapped in Arabic pita bread, which is known as Chicken Swarma roll and it is very popular street food in India.
This recipe has following steps:

I’m also gonna be making egg shwarma roll for those who don’t eat chicken (like my father in law). It s so simple. It is like egg roll with extra white sauce and salads.
Let me introduce some of the terms that I used in the post.
