Why this recipe works
Preparing kebab plates at home with juicy meat
The most important step is the marinade: yoghurt makes the meat tender, paprika, cumin, garlic and tomato paste bring the typical flavour. It is fried in small portions over high heat to create roasted flavours. Fresh side dishes and sauce balance the flavour.

Too much meat at once cools the pan. Then it cooks in its own juice instead of browning.
Keep sauce fresh
Season the yoghurt sauce just before eating so that the garlic and lemon remain clear.
Variations
How to adapt this recipe
