🥛MilkSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, swap the sour cream in the white sauce for a plain unsweetened plant-based yogurt or dairy-free sour cream. If you avoid heat, leave out the hot sauce; for a milder profile, use less shawarma spice and add a little extra lemon instead.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm pita, a crisp cucumber salad, or a simple herb-tahini drizzle to add freshness and extra texture. Pickled vegetables or extra lemon wedges also work well to brighten the spiced rice and chickpeas.
