Method

In a large bowl, combine the yoghurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Warm the pita breads or flatbreads. Place a generous amount of sliced chicken in the centre of each bread. Top with the cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion.
Place the assembled shawarma on a baking sheet and put it under the grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Drizzle with tahini sauce or garlic yoghurt sauce.
