Chicken Shawarma

This is the favourite of almost everyone who preserve a passion for junk food. This was rarely eaten in my family because in my opinion , a shawarma stands on the pedestal of this genre called junk food. But I still have to admit that it tastes awesome. So why dont we make it at home and thus get rid of all the uncertainity issues of cleanliness behind it. Now that is a good option. So try this out in the comfort of your kitchen using neat and clean ingredients. Enjoy.
