For Tahini Sauce: Dry roast the sesame seeds for few minutes. Let it cool. Combine sesame seeds with Olive oil, Garlic, Cumin powder, Yogurt and lemon juice. Grind it to form a fine paste. (Use water, if needed)
For Pickled veggies: Heat the water and vinegar with salt and sugar in it, cook cucumbers in it till little soft, take it out and keep aside. Repeat it with carrot and beetroot. Alternatively, keep the veggies marinated for a day or two in vinegar + salt-sugar mixture for a day or two.
For Pita Bread: Place flour in a mixing bowl; In a small bowl, place the yeast and sugar and pour over some lukewarm water. Leave in a warm spot for about 15 minutes until frothy. Pour the frothy yeast into the flour and mix well to form a soft dough.
Mix the olive oil and salt on the side of bowl and work into the dough. The resultant dough should be soft and smooth.
Cover with cling film or damp cloth and leave in a warm spot to double in size (about 15-20 mins.)Knock back the dough and divide into six equal portions. Leave to rest again for about 5-10 mins.
Roll out each dough to about inches in diameter. Slap onto a lightly greased and dusted baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 200 degrees centigrade. Remove the breads when its puffed up, For shawarmas we want softer breads.
