Ingredients
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 1 small (finely chopped) Red onion
- 2 pieces (finely chopped, or adjust to preference) Green chilies
- 1 small (finely chopped) Tomato
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons (or adjust to preference) Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper powder
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil or ghee
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and beat them well until the yolks and whites are combined.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped red onion, green chilies, tomato, and cilantro leaves to the eggs.
Step 3
Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper powder. Mix everything thoroughly to combine the spices and vegetables with the eggs.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil or ghee in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly to form a circular omelet. Let it cook for 2–3 minutes or until the bottom is golden and the edges begin to lift away from the pan.
Step 6
Use a spatula to gently flip the omelet and cook the other side for an additional 1–2 minutes, ensuring it’s cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer the omelet to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture, adding another tablespoon of oil or ghee if needed.
Step 8
Serve the Indian-style omelets hot with toasted bread, a side of fresh salad, or even as a filling for a wrap. Enjoy!
