Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 medium (finely chopped) onion
- 0.5 medium (finely chopped) tomato
- 1 small (finely chopped) green chili
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (freshly ground) black pepper
- 1 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined and fluffy.
Add the finely chopped onion, tomato, green chili, and fresh cilantro to the bowl with the eggs. Mix thoroughly.
Season the mixture with turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix again to distribute the spices evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Swirl the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Once the oil is hot, pour the egg mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula or spoon.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is lightly golden.
Carefully flip the omelet using a spatula. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until fully cooked and golden brown.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro, if desired. Enjoy with toast, chutney, or on its own.
