UGANDAN ROLEX - KAMPALA SANCTUARY RECIPE
Ugandan Rolex is a beloved street food in Uganda that can be found on any street corner. This delicious recipe consists of layered flatbread with eggs and veggies.
CHAPATI
(this can be substituted with a flour tortilla if you don’t want to start from scratch):
INGREDIENTS
2 cup all-purpose flour
Water (luke warm temperature)
1 tsp salt
Cooking oil
Rolling pin and board
DIRECTIONS
Put the flour and salt in a medium sized bowl.
Add in 2 tablespoons of oil to the mixture.
Slowly add in water as you knead the dough until it doesn’t stick to your fingers -the dough must be smooth and just the right softness.
Divide the dough into equal portions, roughly the size of a golf ball. Roll between your palms, applying a gentle pressure until they are smooth with no cracks.
Sprinkle flour over the rolling board where you will be rolling the Chapati’s out. Use your rolling pin to push the dough into round flat circles, about 5 inches wide. Flip the dough as you roll and make sure you add flour if it is sticking to the board or the rolling pin.
In a pan on medium heat put one tablespoon of oil in the pan. Put the rolled out Chapati in to cook. Use your hands to stretch the Chapati to the width of the pan so that the chapatti is as thin as possible. Take either a spatula or an empty flour bag and fold it down from the top to the bottom. Slowly press down on the Chapati as you turn it.
The Chapati is ready for its first flip when you begin to see raised bumps on its surface. Use a spatula to turn it on to its other side. Remove from the pan when both sides appear golden in color.
