Avoiding Shawarma Takeouts? Now Make It At Home With This Simple Recipe

Food safety has become a major concern today. Every now and then, we come across news featuring the Government calling out different types of food items for being adulterated. The latest item under the radar is the hearty shawarma. According to reports, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) recently tested shawarma samples from 10 districts of Karnataka and found most of them to be of poor quality and hazardous to human health.
