METHOD
For the Shawarma Butter:
1. Combine the soft butter with all the spices, lemon juice and garlic. Mash together

For the Flatbreads:
3. Weigh out the flour, and add the salt. Warm the milk and melt the butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and form into a dough
4. Knead for 2 minutes, cover lightly and rest for 30 minutes. Divide into 8 balls, roll out into circles
5. Brush a griddle pan with a little oil (a normal pan works fine, too) and cook for about 1 ½ - 2 minutes on each side. Watch as the bubbles form, then flip
6. Keep warm and soft by wrapping them in a warm tea towel until the full batch is cooked
For the Tzatziki:
7. Grate the cucumber (drain out the water), dice the onion, and shred the mint. Combine all the ingredients together and season well
8. To serve, place a flatbread on a plate, spoon over plenty of tzatziki, top with rocket, and spoon on the buttery shawarma chicken and cauliflower mix
9. Garnish with red onion rings, fresh chilli, cucumber ribbons, and fresh coriander
