Chicken Shawarma

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:

Marinade the chicken
Make dough for pita bread
Grill the chicken on pan
Make the pita bread
make tahini & garlic sauce (toum)
Now wrap the grilled chicken in pita bread along with salad and sauce.

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.

What is pita bread:

Pita bread is an Arabic bread made with yeast, flour, olive oil, salt and sugar. It looks similar like Naan. But there are some differences. Naan is made in tandoor and the ingredients are milk, curd, flour , ghee, sometimes eggs also added.

What is Tahini:

Tahini is one kind of dipping sauce, mainly used in Middle East cuisine. It is a paste of sesame (til) and olive oil.

1/4 tsp garam masala powder
Black pepper powder
Pomegranate powder
Hot sauce or add red chili sauce
Olive oil
1/2 tsp ginger gralic paste
1/2 tsp lemon juice/ vinegar
Pita bread dough: Yeast
1/3 tsp salt
2 tsp olive oil
Big pinch of sugar
2 cups of Flour/ Maida
200 ml Luke warm water
Other ingredients: Garlic sauce
Tahini
Salad (cucumber, tomato, lettuce, cabbage, onion)
Red chili sauce
3 tbsp Mayonaise

Instructions

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.
