Is that how they make the chips cheesy?

Mostly these days I buy doner from the local takeaway, it’s pretty good. I did go through a phase of making my own, but couldn’t really get the flavour right.
Here’s the recipe I’d come up with - would welcome any suggestions on changes to get it closer to a “real” takeaway kebab, as I’m not sure where to go with it. The basic method seems sound, but the flavour was a bit too “herby” and I guess overall not seasoned enough. I’m pretty sure I’m either using the wrong spices, or certainly wrong quantities. Or maybe including onion is a mistake.
Ingredients:
500g Beef or lamb mince
100g dry breadcrumbs blitzed into powder
0.25 level tsp oregano blitzed
8g salt
5g cumin powder
3g coriander powder
2 finely minced garlic cloves
1 minced small onion
1 lvl tsp black pepper
2 lvl tbsp plain flour
1 lvl tsp garlic powder
1 lvl tsp onion powder blitzed
Half chicken stock cube
- Mix dry ingredients first then blitz well to a powder
- Blitz onion in food processor and add garlic and blitz again. Add to dry mix, then add mince beef and mix/knead thoroughly
- Store in small bowl in fridge overnight. Use cling film and bag (double wrap)
- Mix again then put into empty 800g tomato purée tin
- steam in electric pressure cooker 60mins
- Remove from can when hot, otherwise it sticks to can. Store in fridge overnight then slice when cold
- Reheat slices fan oven 200C 8 mins or 250C 5 mins

That is interesting
Might give this a try as it has to be better than my usual 'at home kebab' option 
I find that Falafel is either good or awful depending on the place

There's a Syrian place in town that does very good falafel, but it's just a little too far off to be a lunch option. Apparently, the best falafel is made by Palestinians, Jordanians or Syrians.I find that Falafel is either good or awful depending on the place

Please do. The more people who try variations on the spicing and feedback on it, the more chance that I can get closer to the “real” thing. I was wondering about something like boullion powder actually.
Pics below of one of my early attempts, the 800g empty tin of tomato purée sits on a trivet in the pressure cooker and a little water below it creates the steam. It’ll definitely be cheaper than buying premade frozen kebab meat, because it goes a long way when you start taking thin slices off it.
Edit: pics aren’t working for some reason..? “Security error”!

Got some frozen chicken sheek kebabs for tonight. Also some frozen lamb donor meat in the freezer with some wraps available.
Won't go without
but heard to beat a decent kebab cooked over charcoal 
Neighbour just had a kebab delivered and sent me a photo of it. Now I have a hankering for a meaty dinner 
She gets hers from a different place to me. More of kebab/pizza/fried chicken shed than a 'proper kebab: place #foodsnob because they do a chicken doner whereas my usual place does not.
Not bad prices and selection
Am interested in this:
Although it would probably be shit

Large mixed
No pitta or sauce included and it seems the 'sauce' are those little plastic portion dips like McDs
Her brief review is that the lamb doner was good but the chicken a bit dry and too salty for her, but her fella liked it.

I don't think i've ever been in a chippy that doesn't do kebabs. You'll be telling me they don't have curry sauce, gravy or vinager next!
