Rolex (Vegetable Omelet and Chapati Roll)

I added siracha mayo with lime and farmer John’s breakfast sausages and my partner wants us to eat these every weekend. He says it tastes like a better version of a McDonald’s burrito, do with that information what you will.

Don’t cook the eggs separately! Once the eggs are in the pan place a cooked Chapati on top- this allows the eggs to stick to the bread and lets the flavors combine. For those of us who grew up with this dish - that’s the way our mothers and fathers would make it.

Got frozen paratha at our local Indian market. Ended up with just the right flaky texture. Loved the cabbage-onion-tomato base for the eggs. Didn't add hot pepper because the paratha was mildly spicy.

What a fabulous breakfast recipe! Great "to go" food.

Similar to a burrito- insofar as it contains a meal contained in a wrap. It seems to have less filling (than a burrito) as it is rolled like a log and not “stuffed”… I think that this would effect the flavor profile. Looking forward to trying this portable meal and see how many ways it could be adapted (eggs, American cheese, bacon sprinkles- for the kids?), (cooled crepe, nuttela- again, for the kids?), (chapatti, thin egg omelette, smear of left over curried eggplant, chopped cilantro?)

I loved this as a quick simple breakfast! I followed the ingredients exactly except for the chapati - I subbed a large flour tortilla since that is what I had on hand. I would recommend using a pan size for the eggs that is an inch or two smaller than the tortilla/chapati size for ease of being able to roll it up at the end. I also used the method where I pressed the tortilla to the eggs while they were still slightly runny so that it could adhere better.

Since seeing this recipe I have adapted it for quick weeknight dinners for my busy teenagers and it's a huge hit. I'm sure it's better with chapatis but I'm using flour tortillas. I use what veggies I have: onion, tomato, jalapeno, mushroom, cabbage (usually red cabbage). I saute the veggies, pour over the eggs, and press a tortilla over the egg while it cooks. Spraying the tortilla before flipping, then turning up the heat, makes it a bit crispy. Slide onto a plate and roll!

I am so impressed how cultured people are here! I mean to know the difference between East African chapatis and Indian! I feel most amazing street food is invented in developing countries .. delicious food. My mom used to make chapatis rolled in sugar, cinnamon and ghee. A dessert version using chapatis!

Made these tonight, chapati recipe too, very good, added some Sriracha to the roll. Herbs and any stray veg would be great in this. The chapati (paratha really) was great, flaky and delicious, but took forever to make. I think I will buy frozen paratha to make in the future.

Wouldn't you cook the egg right on the hot chapati - as you would a crepe complete?

Couldn’t find any chapatis in the high Colorado plateau desert, so used spinach tortillas instead, in essence, making breakfast burritos. To further the Mexican-Ugandan fusion, also served them with salsa. Overall, quite tasty. Will add the dish to my brunch rotation.

East African Chapatis are slightly different from those in India. They are more similar to a Paranta. But any fairly thin wrap will work.

Some shredded beef or chicken is a good addition to the cabbage.

This is just like the breakfast burritos served in the Castro in San Francisco. How marvelous! They even have a version called the "Idi".

I'm going to mix up this Ugandan delight with two more ingredients. Cheese. Bacon. OK now we are done.
