For the shawarma sauce

Ingredients

1. Yogurt – 1/3 cup
2. Mayonnaise – ¼ cup
3. Garlic – 2 big cloves, crushed well
4. Lemon juice – 1 tsp
5. Black pepper powder – ¾ tsp
6. Salt – to taste

Method

1. Combine all the above ingredients in a deep bowl and the sauce is ready.

Note : *Serves 3 – 4 people. *Here I used store bought whole wheat tortillas, any flat bread of your choice can be used instead of tortillas. *I used large tortillas (25cm diameter), so I could cut it to 4 pieces. *If using small one, use more tortillas. *Paprika powder can be substituted with red chili powder (use paprika powder itself for best results). *This is a very tasty and filling snack for Iftar.
