In Israel or Lebanon Shawarma is made with many more spices than in the first post. I particularly enjoy the lebanese or palestinian style.

An easy way to prepare it is to simply use 'Baharat' spice mix (the curry powder of the middle east). If you can't find it then you can try to make your own:

I would be willing to try to bring some of this back from Abu Dhabi in early February if anyone would like to order some at cost + P&P ?

I just used what I had in the cupboard, strong white bread flour.
I was quite impressed with the breads, a keeper for sure. But missed the graininess you sometimes get with a pizza base.
I might dip the balls in semolina next time prior to rolling out. See how that goes.  :)

Managed to get some whole black lime from rusholme. Will post pic when I get chance. The idea being to grind yourself.

Also picked up on tasting the Atlas lamb shawarma that green cardamom is used. Thought it worked well with the black lime and will adopt.

last go changes:
1) used dry parsley 0.5 tsp per  tahine portion - not as good as fresh but good enough
2) served bought humus - a real find from atlas in rusholme
3) Added green cardamom 4 off to the lamb marinade (again a find from atlas) -too little will try 8 off next
4) used lamb leg boned and sliced  10 mm thk by butcher - worked a treat sorted
5) used half a black lime 1.5 tsp ground - real McCoy stuff well pleased. Might try full lime on next go

Was well impressed with this make - feel I'm almost sorted ie in heaven
