How To Make Peri Peri Veg Shawarma | Veg Shawarma Recipe:
This peri peri veg shawarma is very easy to make. Instead of chicken, we will use paneer, but if you like it, soya chunks will work just as well. They are juicy, tasty and full of protein, so you are winning in terms of both taste and health.
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, salt, lemon juice, and peri peri seasoning. Take a fork and make a few holes in your paneer pieces, then coat them in the marinade. Let them cool for a while. Do the same for the soya chunks – marinate them after boiling them.
Step 2: Cook the Paneer
Heat some oil in a pan and fry the marinated paneer pieces till they turn golden. Let them cool. If you are using soya chunks, fry them too.
Step 3: Make the Shawarma Sauce
Take half a cup of sesame seeds and dry roast them in a pan. Combine them in a jar with a few cloves of garlic and oil and blend until smooth. This is your homemade shawarma sauce!
Step 4: Assemble Your Shawarma
Take a paratha or roti, apply shawarma sauce on it and top it with lettuce. Grate cooked paneer, then add some chopped onions and tomatoes. Add some extra shawarma sauce, chili sauce and mint sauce. Wrap it up and secure it with foil to keep everything in place. Boom! Your peri peri veg shawarma is ready to roll.
