Wash and finely chop the fresh spinach, green chili, onion, tomato, and cilantro. Set them aside.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the eggs together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the oil or ghee on medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 15β20 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onion and green chili to the skillet. SautΓ© for 2β3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the chopped tomato and spinach. Cook for another 2β3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften.
Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the veggies in the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly to distribute the eggs evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the omelet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the omelet cook for 3β4 minutes until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with the chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with toast or a side of chutney for an Indian-inspired breakfast or meal!
