1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground cardamom

½ teaspoon ground cloves

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons oil

1 cup Greek-style plain yogurt

2 Persian cucumber (peeled, grated (squeeze excess moisture out)

1 clove garlic (minced)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

2 tablespoons fresh dill (finely chopped)

Hướng dẫn

In a large bowl mix together salt, garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, ground cloves, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and oil

Add chicken and coat well. Allow to marinate for 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat the Air Fryer at 400 F. Line the chicken in a single layer. Spread sliced onions on top. Air Fry at 380 F for 10 minutes. Turn over and cook for another 2 to 5 minutes. Note: My air fryer basket fits 4 to 5 chicken thighs at a time without overcrowding. I usually air fry chicken in 2 batches.

Allow the chicken to rest for 2 minutes before cutting into thin strips.

Tzatziki

Stir together the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and dill in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Bread

Warm up the pita breads, flatbreads or parathas

Serving

Here is the classic way to serve shawarma - spread Tzatziki on the warm bread, top it with your favorite veggies, lettuce, and tomato are a must for me. Then layer over the sliced chicken. Roll up and enjoy.

You can also serve them as Pita pockets. Bake the pita bread in the toaster oven until it fluffs up. Allow it to cool for a minute and then cut into half. Carefully open up each half and spread Tzatziki inside. Add lettuce, tomatoes, and top with chicken.

For a low-carb meal, serve the shawarma meat on a pile of crispy lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and drizzle with creamy yogurt Tzatziki.
