How to make Rolex (Ugandan Chapati Wrap)
Making the Dough
Mix flour, salt, oil, and water to form a dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Preparing the Filling
Cook beef and set aside. In a pan, add oil, then add onions, garlic, and scotch bonnet.
Add tomato paste and fresh tomatoes and mix well. Add seasoning cube and curry powder, and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the cooked beef and stir. Cook for another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Assembling the Rolex
Get your dough and cut it into portions. Roll out each portion until flat and place it in a non-stick pan to heat up.
Break the eggs and whisk them. Add a little salt and fry. Once you flip the egg to the other side, put the chapati on top and remove it from the pan. Place it on a plate.
Place the filling on the chapati and roll it up.
