Shawarma Burger

We live in modern times but the people among us are moving backwards to the stone age.

From, gossip, hate speech, rape, killing in the name of sect/religion/honor to FUCKING DRIVING A CAR ON HIGH BEAMS the society consists of all sorts of evil.

BUT who gives a shit? Roads se le ker insaani jaan aur sab kuch sab ke baap ka hai yaha toh insaan aur uske haqooq aur farz bhe phir uske baap ke hee hain.

WHAT DO I DO IN THESE STRESSFUL TIMES?

The only thing which I do good i.e going in the kitchen and making myself or my brother something to eat.

Much needed therapy.

Some days ago I saw this recipe of a beef burger and I went to BYOB after that. Ate a burger and the buns just fell apart. PLEASE FIX YOUR DAMN BUNS BYOB.

So I realized how much I miss beef burgers and I decided to try that recipe out.

It is called Shawarma Burger. People who love mild food will enjoy it but other's should definitely try this juicy Arabic spiced beef patty with the amazing curried yogurt sauce.

INGREDIENTS FOR BURGER PATTY:

900 grams low fat lean beef minced (you can find it from meat one or any good meat shop)

salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon ground cardamom

1 teaspoon paprika

2 teaspoon curry powder

1 teaspoon cumin powder

2 garlic cloves minced

4 tablespoons finely chopped coriander

INGREDIENTS FOR YOGURT SAUCE:

1 cup yogurt

2 teaspoon cumin

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoon curry powder

juice of 1 lemon

1 garlic clove minced

salt to taste

INGREDIENTS FOR SALAD:

Thin sliced onion

Thin sliced tomato

Handful of coriander leaves

Juice of one lemon

1 tablespoon of live oil

First of we start with making the beef patty for the burger.

Add salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, curry powder, cumin, cardamom powder and coriander in the mince.

Mix it with hands and then forms 4-6 equal size patties.

Let them rest for a while in the fridge.

Meanwhile we prepare the sauce.

On low flame put 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan and fry cumin and curry powder in it for 2 minutes.

Add the cumin and curry powder mixture in the yogurt.

Add garlic and juice of one lemon.

Mix it well and the sauce is ready.

Now we preheat a non stick pan on medium low heat and start cooking our burger patties for 5-7 minutes on each side.

NOTE - when you put the patty for cooking press the middle with 2 fingers or a thumb so it doesn't puff out.

Let the patties cook and make the salad with me.

Thinly slice tomatoes, onions and put a handful of coriander leaves on them.

Add lemon juice and olive oil.

Mix it and the salad is ready.

Time to flip the burger patties. COOK THEM ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!

Cover the pan for about 3 minutes and your patties are all juiced up/cooked up to go for burger assembly.

Let's assemble the burger now.

Toast your buns.

Apply the sauce of both sides.

Place the burger patty.

Top it generously with the salad and cover it with the top bun.

THERE YOU GO.

Dip the burger in the leftover sauce and take a huge bite and let the flavors dance inside your mouth. Shawarma Burger ladies and gentlemen.

HEALTHY CHICKEN RECIPE - EPISODE TWO

SHAWARMA SPICED GRILLED CHICKEN AND GARLIC YOGURT

Disclaimer - I do not by any means create most these recipes. I just surf a lot of web, watch a lot of videos and then just amalgamate what I see and come up with this recipe. This I have taken from a place called skinny taste.

After the huge commercial success of "Waqai Bara Shwarama" which costs around Rs. 50 and is an assassinated disturbing Pakistani version of the Shwarama full of mayo and unhealthy/unhygienic cooked chicken I bring you the light on your stomach and amazingly marinated (NOT MARRIED; YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) Shwarama Spiced Grilled Chicken and to conquer your taste-buds completely Garlic Yogurt.

You might have to go to a supermarket for the full ingredients but trust me you will thank yourself for that effort once you take the very first bite of this. PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE IT WITH WAQAI BARA SHWARAMA OR I WILL SLAY YOU.

INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN:

500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

200 grams unsweetened yogurt

2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/8 tsp kosher salt

First place your chicken on a flat surface and cover it with a plastic sheet.

Then take a meat hammer and smash your chicken until its half an inch thick.

One of the chicken reported me for domestic violence after watching this.

Then you need to prepare the marinade.

Put olive oil in a small or medium bowl.

Squeeze lemon juice in it and whisk properly until mixed.

Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, ground cinnamon, paprika, curry powder, cumin powder, turmeric and red pepper flakes. Mix until a thick coating is formed.

Cover and coat all the chicken breasts with the marinade. Leave it in the fridge for 1 hour at least.

Meanwhile the chicken marinades let's prepare the yogurt.

In a large bowl add minced garlic, salt and yogurt. Mix it together properly and add chopped coriander.

Garlic yogurt is ready.

AN HOUR PASSED SO QUICKLY

Put a tablespoon of oil on a grill pan and rub it properly with a brush.

Preheat it on medium low heat.

THIS IS SO PEACEFUL AND COMFORTING

Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook it for 4-5 minutes on each side.

Take the chicken from the grill plan and let it rest over a flat surface for 5 minutes.

Cut it into strip or according to your own desire or serving style.

I have boiled some bran rice with this but you can eat it with plain white rice, pita bread or just plain with the yogurt.

Ladies and gentlemen this is one of the best grilled chickens I have tasted thanks for that combinations of spices. GIVE IT UP FOR Shawarma Spiced Grilled Chicken and Garlic Yogurt.
