Making Marinade

Mix the yogurt with the garlic paste, salt, sumac all the ground spices listed under 'For Marinade' section above in the Ingredients section.

Add few squares of paneer to the marinade and gently coat the paneer evenly from all sides.

Heat oil for frying in a frying pan or skillet.

Pan fry paneer on medium low to medium heat. Fry for about 3 to 4 minutes in total, giving about 2 minutes for each side to cook.

Turn over when one side is golden and fry the second side.

If there is any marinade left, add to the paneer when frying the last batch. Cook with the paneer and remove/scrape the masala bits from the pan. They are delicious. Mix it later with the fried paneer.

Set the pan fried marinated paneer shawarma aside. When warm or cool slice into batons.

More Preparation

Rinse, dry and chop lettuce.

Slice onions and tomatoes.

In the remaining leftover bit of oil in the pan, opt to sauté onions for 1 to 2 minutes just to remove their pungency. This is an optional step. You could choose to keep the onions raw if you like.

Next the sauces need to be made. You could either make both the tahini sauce and yogurt sauce mentioned in the recipe or opt to make either one, depending on the availability of ingredients.

Making Tahini Sauce

To make tahini sauce, in a small bowl, combine and mix evenly as well as thoroughly all these ingredients - tahini, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper powder and warm water.

Keep the prepared tahini sauce aside.

Make Yogurt Lemon Sauce

In a small mixing bowl, mix really well greek yogurt (or thick yogurt), lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, chopped coriander or parsley or dill and black pepper powder and salt according to taste.

Set this tangy creamy sauce aside.

Assembling & Making Paneer Shawarma

Take one flatbread and place it on your work surface.

Spread tahini sauce first in a thin layer.

Next spread yogurt sauce. At this point you could add your preferred chilli sauce if you prefer.

Spread lettuce evenly.

Top with fried paneer shawarma batons or slices. Divide paneer into 4 portions and use accordingly to make 4 shawarma.

Top with the thinly sliced onions and tomatoes. Place some sliced pickled cucumber or gherkins.

Lastly sprinkle some chopped coriander leaves or parsley. At this point, opt to sprinkle some paprika, ground black pepper, sumac, zatar or chili flakes. If you like, add some feta cheese.
