Let’s Cook!
Omelette Mixture: 1. Crack 2 eggs on the side of the bowl + add a pinch of turmeric powder + a pinch of salt + pinch of garam masala powder 2. With a whisk or fork beat the eggs until frothy (about 45 seconds) 3. Add milk + beat again to incorporate (optional) 4. Set bowl aside 5. Heat up 1 tablespoons of ghee or oil in sauté pan • Add red onion + ginger • Sauté for 30 seconds while stirring occasionally • Remove from heat + add to egg mixture
Omelette: 1. Place sauté pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium/ high 2. Add 1 tablespoon of oil or ghee + swirl around the pan to heat it up 3. Add a droplet of water to insure that the pan is hot enough; it should sizzle when it’s ready 4. Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into hot pan + cook for 10 seconds + turn heat to medium 5. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, use spatula to fold in half (omelette should release easily and be golden brown on the bottom) 6. Remove from heat + let rest for 1 1/2 minutes 7. Repeat for remaining mixture (if you have two pans you can make both omelettes at the same time!) 8. Enjoy!
To Plate: Remove omelette from pan + place onto a plate + sprinkle with salt and pepper + cilantro
Chef’s Tip Masala Omelette’s are usually eaten with a piece of toast or roti (indian flat bread) and a cup of Chia tea or coffee.
