Chicken Shawarma - Arabian Street Food

You can find this in every place they sell Shawarma. It consists of ground seasoned meat placed one over the other and heated with a heating grill which could be eiher electric or charcoal based. The cage like grill is red hot all the time and  heats up the meat.

This amazingly tasty street food is believed to have been evolved in the streets of Arabia and Jerusalem.

It is made with strips of seasoned meat stuffed inside a Roti like bread and rolled.

 The meat includes chicken , meat , lamb , beef or in some cases even mixed meat. 

In India Chicken is widely used , after all no one wants to risk their life stuffing beef (if you've heard of the term  meat ban). 

If you ask me how it tastes, trust me it's way too awesome.

 Worth trying. It costs around INR 80 per roll, and worth every penny of it. 

The dish has been "Indianized" in most of the restaurants with those Indian spices to make it more appealing to the customers.
Personally my favorite places to have shawarma here in Madurai , is house of sandwitch in K.K Nagar and Arabian Delight in Anna Nagar.
I heard the new restaurant called zaitoon in anna nagar sells one of the finest shawarmas in the city but I haven't tried it personally.  

 Whatever be it they are still as tasty as hell.
Let's get into how it's made.

Spoiler picture :

This is how it looks in the end. Yes it's a spoiler indeed. They normally don't cut it up. It was on my request they did so, so that I can show you people what's inside.

Step 1 :

Shawarma is cut into fragments from the rolling "always hot" meat , which consists of  ground chicken seasoned with Indian spices that enhance it's flavor. 

 Step 2 :

The fragmented meat is mixed with some pieces of cabbage and minced together with a
Knife.

 Step 3:

The raw bread ( which resembles roti ) is what wraps the meat after getting baked .

Step 4 :

The bread is placed in the red hot grill which apparently bakes the side exposed.

 Step 5 :

Same way the other side is exposed to the grill and is baked.

Step 6 :

The fully baked bread is placed in a butter paper , stuffed with the chicken and cabbage and finally wrapped.

Step 7 :

Garlic sauce is squirted over the bread which actually gives it a unique flavor.

Step 8 :

The mixture of chicken and cabbage is now layered over the bread which already has a layer of garlic sauce.

Step 9 :

Finally a third layer of garlic sauce finishes of the stuffing and the bread is ready to roll. 

Step 10 :

The stuffed shawarma bread  along with the butter paper in which it was kept is rolled over and folded at the ends. It's usually heated in the oven for around thirty seconds prior to serving. And there you have a Shawarma all ready to eat.
