Kikomando is a Ugandan dish consisting of chapati and beans.[1][2] It is a variant of the rolex. This dish was created in the early 2000s.[3][4]
Origin
[edit | edit source]The name, kikomando, was coined by Ugandan singer, Bobi Wine, who sang about the dish in one of his songs.[3][4] Ugandans claim that eating kikomando will make the eater strong like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his movie, Commando.[5][6] Kikomando is made by cutting up pieces of Ugandan chapati, which is different from Indian chapati in that it is made with all-purpose flour instead of whole-wheat flour, and fried beans.[2][7] In addition to fried beans, other variations of kikomando have avocado, meat stew, gravy, chicken, or liver added to them.[4] This dish is served both in street food stalls and in higher-end restaurants in the country.[3][8] It is popular among university students because of its affordability as a meal.[9]
