Authentic Ugandan Rolex Recipe (Chapati Egg Roll)

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl, then stir in 2 tablespoons of oil and the warm water until a shaggy dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and let rest for at least 20 minutes to relax the gluten.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Roll each into a thin circle, brush with a little oil, roll it up like a cigar, then coil it into a spiral (this creates the layers).

4. 4

   Roll each coil out again into a 7-inch circle. Fry in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side, brushing with oil as you flip, until golden spots appear. Set chapatis aside.

5. 5

   Whisk 2 eggs in a small bowl with the cabbage, onion, tomato, chili, and salt.

6. 6

   Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a wide non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture in and spread it out into a circle slightly larger than your chapati.

7. 7

   Let the egg cook for about 30 seconds until the bottom is set but the top is still wet and tacky.

8. 8

   Place a pre-cooked chapati directly onto the wet egg, pressing down firmly with a spatula so the egg sticks to the bread.

9. 9

   Flip the entire thing over once the egg is fully cooked and browned, heating for just 10 seconds to warm the chapati.

10. 10

    Slide the chapati and egg onto a plate, roll it up tightly into a cylinder, and wrap the bottom in foil or parchment paper to serve.
