Ugandan Rolex is a popular street food in Uganda, consisting of a rolled omelette filled with fried vegetables and sometimes meat, all wrapped in a chapati, which is a type of flatbread. The word “Rolex” is derived from the phrase “rolled eggs.”
To make a Ugandan Rolex, the chapati is first prepared by mixing flour, water, and salt to form a dough, which is then rolled out and cooked on a griddle or skillet until golden brown. The omelette is made separately by whisking together eggs, salt, and pepper and cooking it in a pan until set.
For the filling, onions, tomatoes, peppers, and cabbage are sautéed until soft and then mixed with the omelette. Some versions also include diced meat such as beef or chicken. The omelette and vegetables are then rolled up inside the chapati, and the whole thing is toasted on a hot griddle until crispy.
Ugandan Rolex is typically served as a quick and hearty breakfast or lunch on the go, and is often accompanied by hot sauce or ketchup for dipping.
