Method 7 steps
Knead a soft dough from the flour, warm water, a spoon of oil and salt and rest it twenty minutes.
Roll a ball thin, brush it with oil, roll it into a rope, coil it like a snail and roll it out again.
Cook the chapatis over medium heat, a minute and a half a side, and keep them under a cloth.
Shred the cabbage, carrot, onion, tomatoes and chilli as fine as you can.
Beat the eggs with the vegetables, salt and pepper; the vegetables belong inside the omelette, not on top.
Pour a portion of egg into the pan, let it set and lay a chapati on top, pressing it down.
Flip the two together, slide them onto a board omelette up and roll it tight.
