Ingredients
 
 

Chapati
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for rolling
  • 1 tsp fine salt
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil plus more for cooking
  • 3/4 cup warm water as needed
Vegetable Omelets
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
  • 1 medium tomato seeded and diced
  • 1/2 medium green bell pepper finely diced
  • 4 whole scallions thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil for cooking

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Large skillet or griddle
  • Small bowl
  • Flexible spatula

Method
 

Make Chapati:
  1. Mix the flour and salt. Add the oil and enough warm water to form a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes, cover, and rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Divide into four balls. Roll each into a thin 9-inch round and cook on a lightly oiled skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side until flexible with irregular brown spots. Keep covered.
Cook Omelets:
  1. Beat two eggs with one-quarter of the cabbage, tomato, pepper, scallions, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in the skillet. Pour in the egg mixture and cook into a thin round, turning once. Repeat to make four omelets.
Roll:
  1. Place each hot omelet on a chapati, fold in the sides slightly, and roll snugly.
  2. Serve whole in paper or cut diagonally into halves.

Notes

  • Keep the vegetables finely chopped so the thin omelet rolls without tearing.
  • Cover cooked chapati with a towel so they remain pliable.
