Rolex

1)      Apologies dear readers its been a while since our last post! But this week we’ve made up for it in this very yummy late night snack entitled ‘the Rolex’ which originates from the streets of Kampala, Uganda sold between  600UGX to 1500UGX (20KES – 50KES)

I Cannot exactly pin point how it got its name but I will certainly admit that this fried delicacy is the best post partying snack and will lead you into a beautiful slumber, whatever happens in the morning I cannot account for!

Whether you buy it on the street or you want to make it at home (Which is even better!) I will list down the simple and easy steps and ingredients for your own general knowledge

INGREDIENTS

·         Chapati (already cooked and prepared)

·         Fried omelette (1 or 2 eggs)

·         Cabbage (A handful, shredded )

·         A raw Tomato (3 or 4 thin slices)

·         Chopped Onion (handful)

·         Chopped Green Pepper (handful)

·         A pinch of Black Pepper

·         A pinch of Salt

DIRECTIONS

2)      With your chapatti already prepared and your omelette still in the frying pan, lift the omelette and slide the chapatti underneath so they may warm together

3)      In the centre of the omelette You may now sprinkle the shredded cabbage, the tomatoes, onions, green pepper and Aromat or whatever flavouring suits you but do not cook for long! If you must you can remove the omelette and chapatti from the sauce pan before adding these final touches

4)       After you’ve laid this almost finished master piece on a plate remember to sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper and now here’s the tricky part Roll. (First fold the right side not covered in toppings to cover toppings, then fold along center axis, and then wrap remainder around outside.

5)      TADA! You may pack it the African way and put it in a clear polythene plastic bag to avoid dripping!

You may accompany this fine snack with ketchup or chilli but that’s all up to you!
