Ugandan Chapati.

Ugandan chapati, popularly known as “Rolex chapati,” is a soft, layered flatbread that is a beloved staple of Ugandan street food and home cooking. Made from simple ingredients—wheat flour, water, salt, and oil—the dough is rolled thin, lightly oiled, and cooked on a hot pan until golden and flaky.

What makes Ugandan chapati special is its tender texture and rich flavor, achieved through careful kneading and folding that creates delicate layers. It is often enjoyed on its own, paired with tea, or wrapped around fillings like eggs, onions, tomatoes, cabbage, or meat to make the famous Rolex (rolled eggs).

Affordable, filling, and delicious, Ugandan chapati represents everyday comfort food in Uganda and is enjoyed by people of all ages, from bustling city streets to family kitchens.
