Ingredients
4 Whole Eggs
¼ cup Onion chopped
1 Green Chili chopped
2 tablespoon Coriander leaves
Salt
2-3 tablespoon Oil
1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
¼ cup Onion chopped
1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
½ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1 teaspoon Kashmiri Lal Mirch Powder
1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
½ teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
2 medium sized Tomatoes chopped
Salt
3-4 tablespoon Water
Method
* Crack four whole eggs in a bowl and add ¼ cup chopped onion, 1 chopped green chilies and some chopped coriander leaves in it.
* Whisk well until you make a batter for the omelette.
* Heat oil in a pan. When the oil starts to smoke pour the batter in the pan and reduce the heat to the lowest.
* Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook from all the sides. Since the omeltte is thick it must be uncooked from the upper side.
* When the lower side is cooked take another pan to cook the other side of the omelette.
* Add some butter on the other pan (this is optional) and flip the omelette on it and cook the uncooked side.
* When the omelette is cooked, switch off the heat and place it on a plate.
* Cut it into pieces, it should be a 3/4th size and after that place them aside.
Omelette Gravy
* Heat oil in a pan and when it starts to heat add a teaspoon of cumin seeds and ¼ cup chopped onions in it.
* Add a teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste and saute the onions till they are golden brown.
* When the onion is sauteed and is golden brown add half a teaspoon of turmeric powder in it.
* Add a teaspoon of Kashmiri Lal Mirch powder, a teaspoon of coriander powder and half a teaspoon of garam masala powder.
* Mix all the ingredients well and cook the spices until they are well roasted.
* Add 2 freshly chopped tomatoes in the pan and then sprinkle some salt (according to taste)
* Cook the ingredients until the tomatoes become soft and pulpy. When the tomatoes are soft it’s time to pour water for the gravy.
* Cook the masala until the oil/ masala starts to leave the pan.
* This way you will know that they are well cooked and its time to add some water in it.
* Pour 3-4 tablespoon of water in the pan and then cover the pan with a lid.
* Allow the gravy to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes and then turn the heat to slow.
* Take off the lid and add omelette pieces in it.
* Mix the omelette pieces with the gravy and allow it to simmer for a minute or two.
* Serve the omelette gravy hot with roti or rice.
