• To make the döner, mix all of the ingredients, except onion, in a bowl.
• Sieve the onion juice on the mixture and knead until the mixture is homogenous.
• Rest the mixture in the fridge for a day.
• Wrap the mixture in a baking paper and squeeze from both ends to give it a log shape. Transfer to your freezer and let it freeze (You can keep it in the freezer for up to 6 months and use whenever you want.).
• When it is time to cook, take out the frozen döner let it sit for 5 minutes.
• Carefully, cut thin slices (as thin as you can). Don’t try to slice all the mixture at once, work in batches. You can prepare each portion at a time so you can cook the slices before they are thawed (you can deepfreeze the rest of the döner again for later. Don’t place it in the freezer if it is thawed).
• Heat a large frying pan on medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
• Place the doner slices on the hot pan and cook both sides until they are browned. Don’t try to flip before one side is cooked.
• Cook rest of the slices with the rest of the butter.
