    I had no idea I've been having something similar to Rolex my whole life. I call it egg parantha. Looks like we are all more similar than we think.

      Uganda has a lot of Punjabi's and Indians and Sikhs... even their foreign minister is a Sikh guy.... so a lot of Indian influence on food. The Caribbean also has the same thing but they use blackcurrants. they also have similar street food in Taiwan... the named rolled eggs turning into rolex is not surprising as how we speak something in running local language... in trinidad the parantha is called buss-up-shut... but it is actually burst up shirt coz it looks like burst up shirt...

    Hi Beryl,
    I wonder, since Oct is nearing and Halloween if you could do a segment on international foods or ingredients associated with scary folklore, etc. at that time. As you may know the mandrake is used medicinally but there is much folklore surrounding it. I'm sure there are other ingredients or even dishes associated with dark folklore.

    OMG, I’ve made at least 10 of these since watching this video! I thought I wouldn’t like them because cabbage and egg just doesn’t sound right, but I was soooo wrong! For anyone looking for a shortcut, try substituting coleslaw mix for the cabbage- it’s literally just shredded cabbage with a bit of shredded carrots in the mix. You can use shallots or small onions to make it a smidge faster to chop the onions. If you want a real treat, add a pinch of garam masala to the eggs. Bon appetit!

    Beryl, I've been waiting anxiously for this video! I love and miss Uganda so much. Thank you for featuring rolex and Kampala! ♡ If you experiment with this recipe more I have a couple of tips: the standard rolex in Uganda will be made with a chapati that is actually more like what would usually be called paratha in India-- much higher in fat. Also, the chapati is always made with white flour. Your version is healthier, so if it makes you happy continue with your same recipe. I just thought you might like to know how you COULD tweak it if you want to recreate it more authentically.

This is the perfect meal if you're on the go and you do not want to go for take-out. It's extremely difficult for me to find time to eat with working full time and doing school online at odd hours.

    As an Indian, I never knew how African food had similarities with Indian food before watching this channel. Thanks Beryl :)
    Especially this one, I eat chappathi egg rolls all the time. And it's fun to know how it is a popular street food in Uganda 😃 gotta try adding the cabbage next time though!

    This looks incredible! I had no idea these kinds of food existed around the world, and that they could be so similar to things I've eaten at home. There's a taiwanese dish where it's an egg and scallion pancake wrap that looks incredibly similar to this, which astounds me. This is so cool, and I've got to go check this out

    Hey Beryl,
    More than kathi roll, this is the ugandan version of an indian frankie. Next time you're in Mumbai, you must try. There are many stalls that make it or also chains like tibbs frankie. The only diff in the indian version is that you will cook the chapati on either sides only for

    Beryl, love the lemon look-necklace + sundress= summer! Also wanted to comment on the Rolex, it’s similar to how I’ve always made breakfast burritos, except I put the tortilla on top of the egg mixture w/o flipping the eggs first. This way, the tortilla steams and softens as the eggs cook. Flip it over, quickly sprinkle cheese and fresh herbs, then fold up one edge, roll the side so you get a burrito shape. Press down a bit w the spatula so it toasts, then do the other side. Or do a triangular toast, as I usually do.

    I really love these street food videos! So very cool to learn what foods are considered iconic in other cultures. And hard agree with normalizing the inclusion of cabbage in omelets. I'm usually not the biggest egg fan, but once I tried a korean street toast recipe that included eggs cooked with cabbage, carrot, and onion, it changed my life. It really makes for something greater than the sum of its parts in my opinion!

    Ive been making this since was little, whenever i am hungry and i have to conjure up something quickly. but with a variation.
    I don't add cabbage, and don't cook onions with the egg.
    Once the egg is placed on the chappati, i cut thin sliver of (raw) onions, mix it with chat masala and few drops of lemon. then place it in the middle of an egg, and roll it up.
    It's my version of a chicken-less frankie (staple roll in Mumbai).

  • @sushantbag2012
    @sushantbag2012 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is more of an Egg Paratha. Obviously with onions, tomatoes, chillies and coriander. Salt and Pepper for taste.
    This is how we do it: Just pour the egg mixture on a pan make it in a circle, the size of the paratha (you can use stale roti from the previous night) and when the egg is halfway done just put the roti/chapatti on top of the egg and let it cook and flip. This makes sure that the egg sticks to the chapatti. Serve by rolling the paratha and tomato ketchup on the side.

    So down here in Dubai, the rolex is a popular Indian street-food too, although, the way we have it here is;
    the omelette without the cabbage, rolled in a 'Kerala paratha' (which is a type of south-indian chapati that is flaky, fluffy and slightly chewy - genuinely the best thing ever) and finished with a spreadable cheese inside, typically Kraft Cheese. We call it, like we see it too; the Omelette Paratha!
    I hope you get to try it sometime, it's one of those ultimate comfort foods!
