Marinade the chicken with turmeric powder, paprika (paprika is a ground spice from made from air-dried sweet red pepper), yogurt, salt to taste, garam masala powder, black pepper powder, pomegranate powder, hot sauce, olive oil, 1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste and lemon juice. Keep aside for 30 minutes.
To make pita bread, first we need to activate the yeast. In luke warm water add big pinch of sugar and dissolve it. Then add 1/2 tsp yeast and stir until yeast dissolves partially. Cover it and keep this in room temperature or at warm place. After 10 -15 minutes, the yeast will be foamy on the top. that means the yeast is activated and ready to use.
In a mixing bowl add 2 cups of maida and salt. mix well. Make a hole in the center and add olive oil, then yeast solution. Combine all and knead very well. The dough would be sticky and soft, so add little more flour and make pliable dough. Apply little more oil on the top so that the dough doesn't dry out. Now cover it and place in warm place to rise the dough for 2 - 3 hours.
After 2-3 hours, the dough will be risen. Give it a punch again. Divide the dough into equal small balls. Take a ball and roll out toa semi thick roti.
Now cook the roti on tawa until light golden brown. Don't make it too brown. Keep this aside
Also grill marinated chicken in hot oil until nice golden brown.
Now make a sauce. In a bowl, put mayonnaise, garlic sauce and tahini. Mix well. The sauce is ready. Also keep the salad ready.
Now assemble the roll. First place pita bread on a plate. On the bread, apply mayonnaise sauce, chili sauce followed by grilled chicken.. Now wrap it.
Cover half wih paper. It is ready to serve.
For egg shwarma roll - In a bowl, crack an egg. Add little salt and beat until fluffy.
Now cook the pita bread until half done.
Take out and add little oil.
Pour the egg mixture. Spread all over the pan. when the egg sets little put the cooked pita side down. And press nicely to cook inside.
Turn over and cook both sides. It is done now.
Now similarly apply garlicky mayonnaise and tahini sauce on egg pita. On the top add red chili sauce. Some salad on the top and roll it nicely. Egg Shwarma wrap is ready.
