Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 small (finely chopped) red onion
- 1 small (finely chopped, adjust to taste) green chili
- 1 small (finely chopped) tomato
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) fresh cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons (optional) red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk until well combined.
Add the finely chopped red onion, green chili, tomato, and fresh cilantro to the eggs. Stir well to combine.
Mix in the ground turmeric, ground cumin, red chili powder (if using), salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the spices are evenly distributed.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl it around to coat the pan.
Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly to form an omelet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is set and lightly golden. Use a spatula to carefully flip the omelet and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes, until fully cooked.
Transfer the omelet to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture, adding more oil to the pan if needed.
Serve the Indian Spiced Omelet hot with toast, flatbread, or enjoy it on its own. Optionally, garnish with extra cilantro or a squeeze of fresh lime juice for added flavor.
