Ingredients

  • 2 Free Range Eggs use organic if possible
  • 1 Baby Red Pepper (capsicum), finely diced
  • 1/4 Red Onion finely diced
  • 1 Green Chilli finely chopped; use more/less depending on your preference
  • 1 tbsp Coriander Leaves finely chopped
  • 1/8 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1/8 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1/8 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1/8 tsp Chilli Powder optional
  • 1/2 tsp Butter for frying, can sub oil or ghee

Instructions

  • Heat up a nonstick pan over medium heat. Whilst the pan is heating up, crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk with a fork until there are some bubbles.
  • Add the chopped peppers, onions, chillies and coriander to the mixing bowl along with the spices. Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix well to combine.
  • Once the pan is heated, add the butter (or oil) and spread around the pan to coat it well.
  • Pour in the egg mixture and spread out using a silicone spatula, ensuring the base of the pan is covered and the vegetables are evenly dispersed in the pan.
  • Leave the omelette to cook on one side until it is slightly golden underneath, then carefully flip the masala omelette using a silicone spatula. Cook on the other side until golden before transferring to a plate.
  • Serve with hot, buttery toast and masala chai. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Best served immediately. 
  • Leftover omelette will store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Ensure you reheat it well before serving.
