Ugandan rolex
Rolex, or rolled eggs, is a classic Ugandan street food, a snack made with Indian chapatis, eggs and vegetables. It is genuinely one of the most satisfying foods on the planet.
Ingredients
- 4 free-range eggs, beaten
- 录 white cabbage, finely shredded
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 plum tomato, seeds removed and cut into strips
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 green chilli, chopped
- 2 chapatis
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp mango chutney or other chutney
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
Method
Place the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the cabbage. Heat the oil in a frying pan and pour in half the egg mixture. Scatter over half of the tomatoes, onions, coriander and chillies. Cook until just set, then flip and cook until the egg mixture and vegetables are cooked through. Top with the chapati and allow to steam in the heat.
Carefully lift up both the egg mixture and the chapati, flip over onto a plate and roll up once cool enough to handle. Repeat with the remaining egg, vegetables and chapati.
Meanwhile, mix together the mango chutney and mayo in a small bowl and serve alongside the rolex for dunking.
Recipe Tips
You can use frozen chapatis for this dish if you pre-cook them in a dry frying pan for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and hot through.
