Alternatives

The sauces can be replaced with whichever ones you prefer. The kebab meat is not spicy so if you prefer milder flavours, lower the chilli sauce levels or serve with a milder alternative such as minty yoghurt sauce.

An alternative (or accompaniment) to chips would be to serve the same dish rolled up in a naan bread.
