Smear with oil from time to time.
Alternatively, press the roll flat (3-4 cm thick) onto a baking tray or grill pan. Grill on medium heat for 10-15 minutes on both sides,
smearing with oil from time to time.
Place kebabs onto a bed of salad (chopped lettuce, plain or roasted tomatoes and onion rings, pickles, olives, etc.).
Spoon some hummus on the side along with some tempting lemon and khubuz wedges.
Serve with some Laban (Ayran) as a side drink.
