Medium potatoes | 4 |
Thin flatbread or lavash | 4 pieces |
Oil | As needed |
Next, cut one piece of bread into small pieces and set it aside. Cut the potatoes into cubes. Fry the potatoes until golden brown, then place them on a rack or strainer to drain the excess oil.
Fry the bread pieces in the same oil. Once they turn golden, remove them directly from the oil. Then prepare the special shawarma sauce.

Yogurt | ½ cup |
Tahini | 1 cup |
Mayonnaise | ½ cup |
Lemon juice | ½ cup |
Crushed garlic | 4 cloves |
Salt and water | As needed |
Pomegranate molasses | Optional, to taste |
Combine the yogurt, tahini, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and water. Add less than half a cup of water, adjusting the amount until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
Next, place the marinated chicken over heat and stir until all of its liquid has completely evaporated. Add the pomegranate molasses and mix everything thoroughly. After about two minutes, turn off the heat.
You can serve Arabic or Lebanese shawarma with rice as well.
To prepare the rice, place two cups of short-grain rice and a little vegetable oil in a pot. Add hot water and allow the rice to cook completely.
If you prefer to serve the shawarma with bread, arrange the reserved bread pieces on the bottom of a serving tray. Drizzle them with a mixture of lemon juice, garlic, and hot pepper, if desired. Layer plenty of fried potatoes and cooked chicken over the bread.
For garnish, you can add pickles, fried samosa pastry pieces, sliced onions, a little sumac, and chopped parsley.
Your delicious shawarma is ready to serve!
