Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves, mint leaves, green chili, and onion. Set them aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until frothy.
Add the chopped cilantro, mint leaves, green chili, onion, salt, turmeric powder, ground black pepper, and water to the whisked eggs. Mix well to combine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the oil or ghee. Swirl it around to coat the pan evenly.
Once the pan is hot, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Spread it gently to form an even layer.
Cook for 2–3 minutes on medium heat, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown.
Gently flip the omelette and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
Remove the omelette from the pan and transfer it to a plate. Serve hot with toast, paratha, or on its own.
