Preparation

For Chicken Shawarma

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

2. Cook the Chicken

Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred. Let rest, then slice into strips.

Soak dried chickpeas in water overnight. Drain and rinse. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, garlic, onion, parsley, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until coarse. Form into balls.

5. Fry the Falafel

Heat oil in a deep skillet. Fry falafel balls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
