Shawarma rolls is a very popular middle eastern dish, usually stuffed with thin slices of chicken and vegetables wrapped in pita bread. My take on shawarma rolls is easy to make and yummy for the tummy. I am using thin slices of marinated and roasted paneer along with vegetables and tahini sauce. You can serve with all time favourite tomato and cucumber salad with some pickled turnips. Instead of pita bread, I'm using whole-wheat chapati or roti. You can use pita bread if you want to. So let's get started!! Ingredients: 1. Whole wheat flour:  2 cups 2. Sesame seeds:  50 gms 3. Lemon juice: 2 tbsps 4. Garlic cloves:  10 5. Olive oil: 5 tbsps 6.

Ottu shavige

OTTU SHAVIGE / CHOMAYI : This one is a sure shot winner in any function. After all the celebrations, people remember only ottu shavige...they surely discuss how good or how bad they made it. I learnt this particular recipe from my very dear friend Sharvari, who is a sanketi. This dish is an exceptional part of Sanketi cuisine. Normally sanketis are very possessive about their ottu shavige or chomayi..as they lovingly call it and they never share their secret recipe; but my friend was kind enough to teach me this wonderful recipe. Once I had tried making shavige, but the dough became so hard that it refused to come out of the pressing machine! After many such disasters, my friend came to my rescue. She taught me the way of making shavige wholeheartedly. I am hereby thankful to my friend for this. This is a sunday special in my house where me and my family come together to make this. Similarly, take help from your family and they will also enjoy making "Ottu shavige"
