Ingredients
Scale
- 2 standard eggs
- 1 medium-sized tomato, finely chopped
- 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium-sized cabbage, finely chopped or grated
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional but recommended)
- ½ tablespoon black pepper powder
- ½ tablespoon salt or to taste
- 2 East African chapati (homemade or purchased)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
- Heat a pan over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs in a medium sized bowl. Whisk in the onions, tomato, cabbage, coriander, salt, and pepper.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the hot pan, and pour in half the egg mixture. Allow it to cook for about 3 minutes.
- When the top is only a little wet, place a chapati over it.
- Flip the omelette and chapati over so the chapati is at the bottom. Allow the chapati to warm for 2 minutes.
- Roll the omelet up with the chapati on the outside.
- Wrap in foil and serve it immediately.
- Repeat the steps above with the remaining egg mixture and chapati.
Notes
Red onions are a popular choice.
You can add any vegetables of your choice. You can also add chopped ginger.
If you can't make the chapati at home and it's otherwise unavailable, you can use ready-made flaky paratha.
