Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Remove the cartilage and tendons from the thigh fillet, make cuts in the thicker parts of the fillet, and open them up like a book. Arrange in a single layer on a flat plate.
Step 2
Sprinkle the meat with cumin, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, star anise, black pepper, dried garlic, and salt, then drizzle with vegetable oil. Layer more meat on top and sprinkle with the same spices. You can create a whole tower of meat or simply use one or two layers. Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is preferable.
Step 3
Combine tahini with crushed garlic, the juice of two lemons, and ice water using a whisk. The sauce will thicken and turn white. Season with salt to taste. It's best to add the water and lemon juice gradually, constantly tasting the sauce.
Step 4
Chop the tomatoes and cucumbers into small cubes and mix them together. Slice the pickles into rings.
Step 5
Preheat a grill pan, brush it lightly with oil, and grill the chicken for 3 minutes on each side. Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
Step 6
Cut off the edge of the pita, spread some sauce on the inside walls of the pita, and layer in some meat, a salad of tomatoes and cucumbers, and sauce. Repeat until the pita is filled. Top with a few pickles and eat immediately.
