    Step 1

    Break the eggs into a large bowl.

    Step 2

    Beat eggs lightly with a fork.

    Step 3

    Add onion, tomato, green chilies, coriander leaves and green pepper. Mix well.

    Step 4

    Add the seasoning and spices. Mix until well combined.

    Step 5

    Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.

    Step 6

    Pour half of the egg mixture in the pan and draw the edges into the centre, allowing the uncooked mixture to fill its place.

    Step 7

    Turn the heat down and cook for 2 minutes or until the edges curl over and the center bubbles up.

    Step 8

    Take your spatula and insert under your omelet. Flip the side of the omelet and cook another 2 minutes or until crispy on both sides.

    Step 9

    In the similar way make other omelette as well.

    Step 10

    Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and top wit cheese (optional). Masala Omelette is ready to serve. ENJOY!!

    1. I deseed the green chillies since biting into them can be very unpleasantly spicy. I like their flavour so I take the trouble to remove the seeds and them in. You can just skip this and add red chilli flakes or only pepper for spice
    2. Add some grated cheese just before removing the omelette from the pan and fold in half. Awesome cheese masala omelette ready. I have used both cheddar cheese and pizza cheese with great results
    3. You can add other vegetables like shredded carrots, mushroom, cabbage, etc.
    4. You can saute the vegetables lightly before adding to the omelette, just takes extra time which I don’t like spending on an omelette
    5. You can also cook the omelette by covering it with a lid after pouring the mixture into the pan. I personally prefer the flipping method

    • Serve with paratha, bread or fresh salad.
