For the shawarma spice mix:
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- ½ tablespoon ground cumin
- a pinch of ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon cayenne (add more for spicier)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 300g paneer, cut into thick matchsticks
- 6 pitas or flatbreads, lightly warmed
- classic hummus
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- handful of cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- pickled onions or thinly sliced onion
- 1 cup DAH! Plain Lassi
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- salt, to taste
Instructions:
- Make the shawarma spice mix by combining the minced garlic, ground coriander, cumin, cardamom, cayenne, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil in a bowl. Add to it the cubed paneer, and mix thoroughly. Let it rest for at least 2 hours or more for it to marinate.
- Heat some olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat, and cook the marinated paneer until evenly browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and keep aside.
- Make the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, mix DAH! Lassi with tahini, garlic, lemon juice and salt.
- Assemble the wraps with a dollop of hummus, topped with the shawarma paneer, lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, pickled onion, and drizzles of the yogurt sauce. Serve with additional hot sauce on the side if desired.
