This Middle Eastern dish is available for a very affordable price as one of our most favorite street foods. Small time vendors have their shops set up and sell amazingly delicious shawarma rolls. And as is the rule with India, every dish that we make our own, we customize it according to our own taste palette. Shawarma is basically a dish that is meat based, but we have a plethora of vegetarian options easily available. So, let us look at some vegetarian shawarma options that you can try if you want to taste the dish and do not want to eat meat.
Paneer Shawarma
Soyabean Shawarma
The biggest advantage of this dish is that soya has the texture that is very similar to chicken and mutton. The taste difference is minimal if you are having soya shawarma. It has similar taste and similar texture and laden with spices, you will be fooled to think that you are actually eating a chicken shawarma. this dish can be tried even if you are a nonvegetarian and you want to challenge your taste buds.
Mushroom Shawarma
Again, something that has a texture very similar to that of meat, mushroom shawarma is equally delicious and healthy as well. This dish is particularly rare, and available at very few street stores, although places completely dedicated to shawarma mostly have this variety.
Chickpea Shawarma
This is one of the most underrated varieties of shawarma but once you try it, you will understand why so many people love this. Chickpeas full of protein, so it is an ideal meat replacement anyway. The texture of chickpea gives the shawarma a whole different taste and it is something that is unique. So, if you are looking for some change in taste, then chickpea shawarma is the dish for you to try.
