Step-by-Step Recipe

Step 1: Make the Homemade Cashew Mayo

  1. Drain the soaked cashews and transfer them to a blender.

  2. Add garlic and salt, then blend into a smooth paste.

  3. Slowly add coconut or olive oil while blending to emulsify the mixture.

  4. Adjust the salt and consistency as needed, then set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Paneer Topping Masala

  1. Heat a pan with a bit of oil and sauté the ginger-garlic paste until fragrant.

  2. Add crumbled paneer and cook for 2-3 minutes.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix curd, red chilli powder, cumin powder, garam masala, coriander powder, and lemon juice.

  4. Pour this mixture into the pan with paneer and cook on low flame until the masala coats the paneer well and becomes slightly dry.

  5. Remove from heat and allow it to cool.

Step 3: Assemble the Shawarma

  1. Take a cone-shaped murukku and gently fill the bottom with a layer of minced cabbage.

  2. Add a generous amount of the paneer masala.

  3. Top with a dollop of homemade cashew mayo.

  4. Repeat the layers if space allows, ensuring the murukku holds its shape.
