What is Shawarma?
Shawarma (also writted as Shawurma) is an Arabic meat dish made with chicken, lamb, beef or veal. A large piece of meat is fixed on a vertical rod inside a cylinder-like container. To serve the dish, slices of meat are cut and wrapped inside a flat bread with other ingredients such as tomatoes, cucumber, onions and other vegetables.
As Shawarma belongs originally to Arabic cuisine, most of its varieties are seen in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Lebanon, Jordan and other Middle East countries. You would find a large variety of shawarma recipes in Arabian cuisines such as beef shawarma, lamb shawarma, veal shawarma and vegetable shawurma.

While making a chicken shuwarma, I always purchase fresh chicken because you don't know how old already the chicken is. So go to your nearby chicken shop, get slaughtered the hen then and there and get fresh chicken to your home. That's a little way to ensure best quality of chicken.
Recently, a new shawarma point has started selling it near our home. We girls were very excited to taste it , and yes, it was really awesome. We are trying to make that shawarma at home but we don't have any know how about its procedure and how exactly to make it. Does your recipe give us some idea?
I am going to become a chef, I have introduced my own chicken shawarma recipe which has some additional ingredients and due to that items, its taste is really great. I can devise many other chicken recipes as well.
