How to make Rolex

1. Warm 2 soft chapatis on a dry pan and keep them nearby. The chapati is the dish - there is no matoke and no wrap tortilla in a rolex.
2. Finely slice 1 onion, 1 tomato, about 50 g of cabbage and half a green pepper.
3. Beat 2 eggs per rolex with a pinch of salt, then stir the raw vegetables straight into the eggs; they are not cooked separately.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil on a flat pan over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture, spreading it into a thin round the same size as the chapati.
5. As soon as the underside sets, about 1-2 minutes, lay the warm chapati on top of the omelette and press so the two stick together.
6. Flip the whole thing, cook 30 seconds more, then slide it onto a board chapati-side down.
7. Roll it tightly from one edge, wrap the bottom half in paper and eat it in your hand while it is hot.
