Donor kebab from Takeaway Secrets book

[VickityBoo]

I shall be attempting this tomorrow for dinner. I am excited about trying something I've heard such good things about but am looking for any tips! Also interested to hear your experiences. :)

Ive made it exactly how the book says, and it always turns out yummy!

It is absolutely lovely, bought ones are no longer up to scratch!

Never tried it but had the wedges from that book tonight for the first time in aagggeess

Any tips on how to cut it thinly like the shops?

I stick a metal skewer in mine and hold it up and use a very big knife and slice down to get long thin slices

Thank you I shall be doing it that way then!

Ooo any chance I can have the recipe please? (sorry to be cheeky!)

It's on my blog here as we had it for tea last night (again! the kids adore it!)

A big favourite in our house. Had it for the umpteenth time a few nights ago. The recipe for it was worth the price of the book alone.

Black, I love your blog! I will definitely be stealing borrowing some of your recipes!

I'm a crap cook The one time I tried to make it the end result was so dry I couldn't eat it - but that's definitely me, not the recipe. I can burn water.

i LOVE kebabs

The tomato sauce for pizza topping is good, too. Not too sure about the chip shop curry sauce.

ooh is this a good book?

tb, I agree, the chip shop curry sauce was awful :( Its the onlything from teh book I have actually disliked. I have, so far, made about 20 recipes from this book!

AuntieMaggies, it only costs £3/£4 and its my most used cookbook

We are having this for tea tonight, it had better be good!

How was it?

Really really nice and really donorish.. Tasted just like the real thing!

dh was really impressed and the kids scoffed the lot :)

Fab recipe.

Do you have the book? Ive tried a few recipes and most of them are nice.

What else would you recommend from the book?

Not got the book no, I had never heard of it before I saw this thread. We eat ourfair share of takeaway food though so i've put it on my amazon list for payday :)

The chinese ribs are gorgeous! As is the chicken pakoras & chicken satay. The best I think is the sweet & sour chicken - I like it better than teh takeaway version! So far I have made .. lamb kebabs, chicken BBQ kebabs, chinese ribs, pakoras, Big Macs, Sausage & Egg McMuffins, garlic bread, sweet n sour chicken, char sui pork, chow mein, egg fried rice, chicken pakoras, garlic mushrooms, korma, tikka masala, spicy onions, chicken nuggets, KFC chicken (didnt reallytaste like KFC, but still yummy), naan bread, BBQ pizza and the ice cream! Only one recipe I dont like, the chip shop curry sauce, its quite dosgusting :(

I'm tempted to make the chip shop curry now!

I borrowed the book from a friend a few weeks ago, but haven't been tempted to use it untill reading this thread. I need big recipe books that I can prop open in the kitchen, and that have pictures
Going to do the donor on Saturday night though, with home made pitas.

I made the pittas too, but I must have gone wrong somewhere are they were spongey rather than flat
