Preparing Doner Kebab

Shaurma is the Russian name of the Turkish Doner-kebab dish, which in translation means "wrapped roasted meat". Despite the fact that he invented this dish of the Turks, whose name is Mahmut Aygun, his homeland is Berlin. It was in one of the restaurants in this city that lamb meat was first served with garlic sauce and a garnish of French fries and salad. All these ingredients were wrapped in a bread pita.

Initially Mahmut Aigun came up with a kebab made up of meat, rice and salad. But when he came to Germany, he decided to slightly modify the dish by wrapping it in lavash. This made it possible to create a fairly convenient fast food, which is now popular all over the world.
