This masala omelette recipe appeared in the January 2019 Olive magazine. David's the main omelette maker in our house...he has them down to a fine art!! This omelette has delicious spices...turmeric is one of my favourites...along with ginger and chilli to give heat - leave the seeds in for more heat!!
The tomato, cucumber and onion salad cuts through the heat and balances the dish perfectly. It's a great breakfast or brunch recipe...or even enjoy it as a quick mid week meal, with some toast on the side, if you're hungry.
Tip
- This masala omelette recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for more people...just make sure you use a bigger frying pan.

Instructions
- To make the salad, put the tomatoes, cucumber, onion and vinegar into a serving bowl with some seasoning, toss well then set aside.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan on a medium to low heat and gently cook the onion, tomato, chilli and ginger with a pinch of salt for 10 minutes until soft. Stir in the spices and cook for 1 minute. Beat the eggs with a little seasoning and stir through the coriander. Tip the eggs into the pan and swirl to make sure everything is distributed. Cook gently for 5 minutes, lifting up the edges to let any runny egg run underneath, until lightly golden on the bottom. Then, fold over and cook gently for 2 to 3 more minutes until just set.
