Shawarma roll is a delicious meaty roll that has chicken and other delicious vegetables and sauces wrapped up in a flat bread. This fantastic roll has been so popular recently in Pakistan, that you will find a shawarma stand at each corner every corner in every city!

I don’t know what is the method to make spicy chatni which I see in this image, some chef also include the garlic sauce instead of this green chatni but it enhance the taste if you use green chatni to make it.

What is the best technique to piece it for serving? I make it many times but the roll is open when I cut it, without cutting it is not eatable.
