Shwarmas

  • The Khan Family recipe for Shwarmas!!! Sent from Sabah...
    Ingredients
    Shwarma Spice Powder (found at any Arab, Iranian or Afghan Grocery Store)
    Chicken
    1 small onion chopped + 1 medium onion
    3 cloves of garlic (remember to take this out after chicken boils)
    1 inch ginger whole (also take out after chicken boils)
    5 whole cloves (also take out after chicken boils)
    1 small cinnamon stick (take out after chicken boils)
    4-5 whole black peppers
    2 pinches of cumin seeds
    1 chopped tomato
    2-3 finely chopped salad leaves
    ***optional: french fries, olives
    Pita bread

    Directions
    1. Boil chicken with herbs (1 small onion chopped, 3 cloves of garlic (remember to take this out after), 1 inch ginger whole and take it out after, 5 whole cloves (take this out after), 1 small cinnamon stick (take everything out after the chicken is done!!), 4-5 whole black peppers, and 2 pinches of cumin seeds. To make all this easier you can put all these things in a little cloth bag thats made for cooking so you can just take it out after.
    Let the chicken boil until tender. Once its done, make really small pieces (you can shred it but make sure you don't end up grinding it). My mom is saying she does it manually to make sure they are bite size pieces.
    2. Take one medium size onion in 1 tsp oil in a frying pan, saute the onions for only 2-3 mins
    3. Add one chopped tomato and 2-3 finely chopped salad leaves
    4. Add the topped chicken into the frying pan
    5. Add the shwarma spice powder (whatever it says on the package or 1/2 tsp)
    6. you can add french fries or anything else you like (olives, etc.) that's all optional
    7. You're done! You can spread the mixture on pita and dunzoss!
    My mama says let her know when you make it haha xxoxox! miss you
