Ingredients

  • 500 g Minced Meat chicken
  • 1 Onion pureed
  • 60 g Yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Puree the onion until completely smooth, then squeeze it through a fine sieve or cloth to remove as much liquid as possible, leaving behind the concentrated onion pulp.
  • Transfer the onion pulp to a large mixing bowl and combine it with the lamb, yoghurt, olive oil, garlic, and the spices. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a firm spoon until the mixture is sticky and uniform.
  • Place a sheet of baking paper on a flat surface. Spread the mixture on top and flatten it slightly with your hands or a rolling pin so it is thin enough to roll.
  • Place another sheet of baking paper on top of the flattened mixture to prevent sticking, then carefully roll it into a tight log using the top sheet to guide and compress it.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Transfer the rolled doner onto a tray and bake for 20 minutes, or until fully cooked through but still tender.
  • Remove from the oven, unroll it gently, then break or slice it into thin doner-style strips.
  • Spread the strips out on the tray and broil (grill) them for 5 minutes at 250°C to caramelise the edges.
  • Once cooked allow it to rest briefly. Serve warm with naan or your preferred sides.
