Chapati
- In a bowl sift all the dried ingredients including all-purpose flour, salt, turmeric and granulated sugar and mix well.
- Add oil and mix.

- Cut the dough into 100 gram balls and keep them covered with a damped towel
- Dust lightly a counter with flour and with a rolling pin, roll the dough into thin rounds
- Warm a cast iron pan and add a tablespoon of oil and cook the chapati (the dough) in medium-low heat for two minutes per side. Set aside for serving.
Rolex Filling
- Add olive oil to the frying and sautee onions for two minutes in medium-low heat.
- Add chilli peppers and mix.
- Add tomatoes and eggs, mix well. Reduce the heat to low when making an omelette.
- Add spinach and shut off the heat.
- Add chapati on top of it and allow the egg to finish cooking as they bind.
- Flip the chapati-egg fusion upside down on a cutting board or large plate.
- Roll the chapati (similar to a burrito) and slice with a serrated knife.
- Serve and enjoy!
