Rolex ("rolled eggs") is a vegetable-filled omelet wrapped in a chapati flatbread. It is a nourishing and finger licking food item. It is best enjoyed when hot and can be eaten for almost any meal.
Ingredients
edit- 2 standard eggs
- 1 medium-sized tomato, finely chopped
- 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium-sized cabbage, finely chopped or grated
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional but recommended)
- ½ tablespoon black pepper powder
- ½ tablespoon salt or to taste
- 2 East African chapati (homemade or purchased)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Procedure
edit- Heat a pan over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs in a medium sized bowl. Whisk in the onions, tomato, cabbage, coriander, salt, and pepper.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the hot pan, and pour in half the egg mixture. Allow it to cook for about 3 minutes.
- When the top is only a little wet, place a chapati over it.
- Flip the omelette and chapati over so the chapati is at the bottom. Allow the chapati to warm for 2 minutes.
- Roll the omelet up with the chapati on the outside.
- Wrap in foil and serve it immediately.
- Repeat the steps above with the remaining egg mixture and chapati.
Notes, tips, and variations
edit- Red onions are a popular choice.
- You can add any vegetables of your choice. You can also add chopped ginger.
- If you can't make the chapati at home and it's otherwise unavailable, you can use ready-made flaky paratha.
