Rolex

Ugandan Rolex is basically an omelet rolled inside a chapati. Sort of like a wrap. The omelet is fried with onions, tomatoes and cabbage, others add carrots and bell pepper. The dish is also known and popular in Kenya.

This single-portion dish is quick to prepare, and can be eaten at any time of the day, from breakfast to a lunch or supper meal or snack.

This idea originated from a chapati seller's creativity in the Busoga region "the basoga" then the idea spread to Wandegeya next to Makerere University in Uganda, fueled by students who needed a quick meal because of time and budget limitations. The name "rolex" comes from its method of preparation, with the chapati and the omelette rolled together ("rolled eggs")

The delicacy soon spread throughout Uganda. It became a popular food choice for its combination of convenience, low cost, and taste.

Other terms and variations related to this dish rolex include:
