Omelette Masala

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Start by finely chopping the onion, tomato, green chili, and coriander leaves. The onion should be translucent, and the tomato should be diced into small cubes. This will take about 2 minutes.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them well with a fork. Add salt, black pepper, red chili powder, turmeric powder, ginger paste, garlic paste, and lemon juice to the eggs. Whisk until the mixture is uniform and a little frothy, which should take around 1 minute.

3. 3

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil or ghee. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers but does not smoke, which will take approximately 1 minute.

4. 4

   Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onions first. Sauté them for about 2 minutes until they become golden and aromatic. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.

5. 5

   Next, add the chopped tomatoes and green chili to the skillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices, which will enhance the flavor of the masala.

6. 6

   Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables. Tilt the skillet gently to spread the mixture evenly. Allow it to cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to firm up but the center is still slightly runny.

7. 7

   Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the skillet to let any uncooked egg flow to the edges. This should take about 1 minute.

8. 8

   If using, sprinkle cheese over one half of the omelette. Fold the omelette in half carefully using the spatula and let it cook for an additional minute until the cheese melts and the omelette is fully cooked.

9. 9

   Once fully cooked, slide the omelette onto a plate. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves on top for an added touch of flavor and color.
