Ingredients

Before you cook

Steps

  1. Divide the rested dough into two balls.
  2. Roll one ball out into a thin round, brush it with oil, then roll it up into a rope and coil the rope into a spiral.
  3. Flatten the spiral and roll it out again into a round about 20cm across, which is what gives chapati its layers.
  4. Repeat with the second ball of dough.
  5. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat with a teaspoon of oil.
  6. Cook one chapati for 90 seconds until brown spots appear underneath, then flip it and cook the other side for 90 seconds.
  7. Press the edges down with a spatula as it cooks so the layers puff, then move it to a plate and cover it.
  8. Cook the second chapati the same way.
  9. Stir the onion, tomato, pepper, cabbage, chilli and coriander into the beaten eggs.
  10. Wipe the pan, add a tablespoon of oil, and pour in half the egg mixture.
  11. Spread it into a thin round and cook for 2 minutes until set underneath.
  12. Lay a chapati directly on top of the wet side of the omelette and press it down.
  13. Flip the whole thing over so the chapati is underneath and cook for 30 seconds.
  14. Slide it onto a board, roll it up tightly from one edge, and cut it in half on the diagonal.
  15. Make the second rolex the same way and eat both while hot.
