Background:

The Ugandan Rolex is a popular street food in Uganda that has gained international recognition for its delicious flavors and unique preparation method.

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 chapati flatbreads
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions, tomato, bell pepper, and cabbage. Cook until the vegetables are soft.

  4. Warm the chapati flatbreads in a separate pan or microwave.
  5. Place a portion of the egg and vegetable mixture in the center of each chapati. Roll up the chapati like a burrito, enclosing the filling.
