Vegetable Shawarma

When I posted Chicken Shawarma, soon I wanted to post the vegetarian version too as most of my fellow bloggers are vegetarians. The falafel recipe is already there in my space, and the below mentioned falafel recipe has got a slight variation from it. You can see the pictorial directions of shawarma here, only slight difference in the stuffing.
