Pakistani Masala Omelette
Yield: 1
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized eggs
- half a small onion, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped finely
- 1/2 green thai bird chili minced. If you're a chili-head like me, add one whole chili. Use shears to cut this straight into the bowl, so you don't burn your fingertips.
- pinch haldi; turmeric powder (found in most Pakistani/Indian/Persian grocery stores)
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp ghee or 1 tbsp neutral oil (sunflower or corn)
Instructions
- Pre-heat your grill/broiler.
- Beat two eggs in a small bowl and add onion, coriander, green chili, haldi, cayenne and salt. Whisk well.
- Place a small frying pan on medium heat and add ghee/oil.
- Pour egg mixture into frying pan and keep swirling till the egg mixture is well distributed. Don't touch the mixture with your spatula.
- After 2-3 minutes, you will see the edges begin to crisp up. At this point, you can either flip the omelette over, or if you want to be cautious, place it under the grill till golden, about 2 minutes.
- Serve with bread of your choice.
