Helen’s Home Cooking Video and Recipe for Doner Kebab (Lamb)

We all love take away but it can be very expensive, making your own Doner Kebab allows you to have a treat without breaking the bank. Depending where you buy the ingredients it should work out around £1 to £1.50 per head.

  5. Remove from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature.

  1. Appreciated the recipe Helen. It sounds lovely and I will try it. By “parchment” do you mean oven paper?

    I never buy donor kebabs because I hate the smell and taste of cumin (on or in anything).
    So if you’re like me, just leave out the cumin and Helen’s recipe will give you a lovely hot lamb supper
