Döner Kebab (German Style) vs Lamb Shish Kebab

Both dishes lean on yogurt, garlic, paprika and oregano, but put them to very different work. In the Döner, yogurt stays cool and raw as a tangy garlic-lemon sauce, while paprika and oregano season thin chicken-thigh strips pan-fried until lightly crisp, then tucked into warm pita with crunchy lettuce, red cabbage, raw onion and sliced tomato. The Lamb Shish instead turns yogurt into a marinade with grated onion, tomato paste and cumin, tenderizing lamb cubes that are grilled to a charred exterior alongside bell pepper and cherry tomatoes.
