Description[]
This special Ramadan dish will remind you of Gyros (Döner) with yogurt and is so easy to prepare. You can start making this, 30 minutes before dinner. Use of garlic is one the best ways to make you want to drink water, which restores the liquid in a body from which a fasting person refrains during the day.
