UGANDAN ROLEX

Hey Lovelies,
So today I woke up with cravings for eggs and I remembered that I had heard about Ugandan Rolex. A famous Ugandan street food that made headlines a while back. I don't know why that was on my mind but I decided that it would be my breakfast since I had left over Chapati from last night's dinner. Ugandan Rolex is basically an omelet rolled inside a chapati. Sort of like a wrap. The omelet is fried with onions, tomatoes and cabbage, others add carrots and bell pepper.I didn't put cabbage in my Rolex since it wasn't available but the dish was delish! So easy to make and fast enough for you not to stand longingly waiting for it to be done. A perfect breakfast start to a cold Tuesday morning here in Nairobi!
Ingredients

2 Eggs
1/4 Cup Tomatoes
1/4 Cup Onions
1 Bunch Cilantro
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Cooked Chapati
2 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil

Instructions

Break the eggs and whisk them well

Add salt. Mix

In the same bowl, add in the chopped onions

Next add the chopped tomatoes

Pour in the finely chopped Cilantro

You can add a spice or dried herb if you like

Whisk the mixture together until the eggs and the vegetables are well incorporated

Heat a pan. Add the vegetable oil. Pour into the pan the eggs mixture

Let the egg cook until it starts to set and become firm. It should take like 5 minutes

Cook until the egg starts to brown. Carefully flip the omelette and let the second side cook as well
Remove from heat and place on a plate

Since the Rolex is usully wrapped into a newsapaper when you buy, I wanted to be as authentic as I could 😅, though I have broken a few rules already
Like you should place the chapati on top of the omelette when the egg is almost done while still on the pan

Start to firmly roll the chapati over the omelette. Ideally the omelette should be slightly longer than the chapati

Continue to roll the Rolex firmly

And you are done! Easy peasy!

This is how Ugandans serve the Rolex, rolled inside a newspaper. Makes it easy to eat as you are on your way

How delicious is that Rolex? You get all the delicious elements on the inside of this breakfast wrap. The aroma is just amazing and every bite oozes yummyness!
