Uganda, a pleasant surprise


 Habari,

Uganda, another African country with dishes similar to elsewhere in the region, this time however I decided to cook rolex, not the watch brand but a food that is typically sold on the street. I guess the watches would also probably be sold on the street there, maybe more so in Thailand.

Anyway back to the cooking, rolex was made with a chapati, I enjoyed making the chapati but unfortunately I had trouble without a rolling pin to get it very thin, I think mine ended up too thick. Never the less, the chapatti dough was rolled out and fried. To make the rolex, an egg was beaten and put in the frying pan, once cooked it was transferred gently to the chapati with tomato and cabbage added before being rolled.


I thought this meal might be quite bland but I really liked it. As a sucker for garlic, I enjoyed the flavour of the chapati and would make it again. I would probably put more of a western twist to it, maybe some bacon, chicken and maybe even beans would go well.
