Trying Ugandan Street Food | Rolled Eggs aka Rolex

[@bhavleenk]

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.

[@physics77guy]

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 yes yes yes a Halloween version would be so cool. There has to be similar stories and celebrations outside America too.. My dad always tells me how it's similar to something in our culture.

Uganda is a beautiful country in terms of people and natural surroundings (so green and lush). Kampala is very green and hilly and Rolex vendors are all over. Everyone has their favorite vendor. Yum!

[@tqc4853]

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!

I can't travel so I binge watch street food and travel videos. This immediately made me think of all the ways Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi make eggs.

You should survey your viewers and explore the subtle differences in the recipes. :)

[@sarasaunders7175]

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.

[@erzsasula]

This is remind me of Indonesian "Martabak Telur", an omelette with the mix of scallions and other veggies, all wrap in a crispy outside (a pizza-dough kinda thing). I'll try to find a tortilla to try this Rolex. 🤤

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.

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.

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.

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

[@incubusk8r]

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).
