Ingredients

  • 500 g boneless meat ( chicken , lamb , or beef ), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 small onion , finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon hatxora

Directions

1

In a bowl, combine yogurt, vegetable oil, minced garlic, chopped onion, shatkora, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade .

2

Add the thinly sliced meat to the marinade, ensuring it's coated thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavours to meld.

3

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.

4

Thread the marinated meat onto skewers , creating kebabs.

5

Grill the kebabs for about 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has a nicely charred exterior.

6

While the kebabs are cooking, warm the pita bread or flatbreads on the grill.

7

Once the kebabs are done, remove them from the skewers.

8

Serve the kebab by placing slices of grilled meat into warmed pita bread or flatbreads. Add sliced vegetables and drizzle with tahini sauce or yogurt-based sauce.

9

Roll up the bread to encase the filling, and enjoy your sylheti doner kebab!
