Shawarma in lavash with chicken at home

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make shawarma in lavash with chicken at home? The necessary ingredients. I pickled the chicken in advance - below I will tell you how

2. Step 2:

   

   For shawarma, it is better not to choose fillet, namely chicken meat - from the thigh, with skin, it is more juicy and perfect for shawarma, I took half a large chicken

3. Step 3:

   

   For meat, or rather in our case - for chicken, we will need the following spices - they will give our dish a characteristic oriental flavor, I specially chose spices in grains, in my opinion they reveal their flavor much more

4. Step 4:

   

   Grind the spices in a mortar.

5. Step 5:

   

   The fragrance is already magical

6. Step 6:

   

   And now pour a small amount of boiling water - literally 50-100 ml, and the spices will reveal their flavor even more

7. Step 7:

   

   Now let's prepare the chicken - carefully remove the bones from it

8. Step 8:

   

   In the part where the chicken breast is, make incisions so that the meat part is about the same thickness

9. Step 9:

   

   I also do not advise cutting the chicken into pieces at once, the meat is much juicier in a piece

10. Step 10:

    

    Lubricate the chicken meat with prepared spices and leave for at least 2 hours, or even better overnight. I do not salt the meat immediately so that the juice does not flow out of the meat.

11. Step 11:

    

    Now prepare the so-called white sauce - to do this, mix sour cream and mayonnaise, pass garlic through the press.

12. Step 12:

    

    Chop the greens finely - I took some parsley and dill.

13. Step 13:

    

    Add the herbs to the sauce, if desired, you can add a little salt.

14. Step 14:

    

    Stir - and the white sauce is ready!

15. Step 15:

    

    Now prepare the red sauce - of course you can take ready-made ketchup, but you will see how easy it is to cook it yourself

16. Step 16:

    

    Put the tomato paste in a saucepan and warm it up for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly so that it does not burn.

17. Step 17:

    

    Dilute starch with 150 ml of water

18. Step 18:

    

    Add the diluted starch to the tomato paste, stir and warm for another 1-2 minutes.

19. Step 19:

    

    Add sugar

20. Step 20:

    

    Salt

21. Step 21:

    

    Add suneli hops or other favorite spices to taste, you can also add fresh cilantro here

22. Step 22:

    

    Stir, warm up - and our delicious sauce is ready! My husband is a lover of all kinds of ketchups, so he said that this sauce is even tastier - and I know that from him this is the highest praise!

23. Step 23:

    

    Leave our red sauce to cool.

24. Step 24:

    

    Put the chicken pre-marinated in spices in a preheated frying pan with vegetable oil

25. Step 25:

    

    Fry on both sides until golden brown

27. Step 26:

    

    At this stage, it is necessary to salt it, because it was not salted during pickling

28. Step 27:

    

    That's such a delicious and appetizing chicken we got in the end

29. Step 28:

    

    Now start slicing vegetables - there should be the same amount of them in the right shawarma with meat. Finely chop the cabbage.

30. Step 29:

    

    Add salt and remember a little with your hands to let the juice flow

31. Step 30:

    

    Onion (red is better of course - it is sweeter, but the usual onion will do) cut into thin half rings

32. Step 31:

    

    Pour boiling water and leave for about 10-15 minutes to remove the bitterness

33. Step 32:

    

    Then add some apple cider vinegar

34. Step 33:

    

    Half a teaspoon of salt and sugar, mix - and the onion is ready

35. Step 34:

    

    Cut cucumbers into thin crescents

36. Step 35:

    

    Cut tomatoes similarly to cucumbers

37. Step 36:

    

    Cut the chicken into cubes

38. Step 37:
