Tips:
1. Always make the shawarma instantly. So when you need to prepare the shawarma, just make the roti a little warm and then proceed.
2. The quantity of tahini applied should be less otherwise it might give a bit bitter taste.
3. The stuffing can be increased or decreased as per one’s choice.
4. I have made big and a bit thick rotis.
