We had a home made hot Chilli Sauce, Yogurt and Mint dip as sides. Wrapped the Kebab meat in Gluten free wraps with salad and chips. OK generally this is a dish to fall asleep in after a night out in the pub. But the Pubs aren’t open and we’d not go at the moment if we could afford to….. Plague, you know!
