Equipment

Ingredients

For the omelette:

  • 0.5 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 0.5 onion finely chopped
  • 1 large plum tomato finely chopped
  • 0.5 green chilli deseeded (optional) and sliced
  • 0.5 a thumb sized piece of ginger finely chopped
  • 0.25 tsp ground turmeric
  • 0.5 tsp garam masala
  • 4 eggs
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.5 a small bunch of coriander finely chopped

For the salad:

  • 2 large ripe tomatoes sliced
  • 0.25 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 0.5 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.
  • Cut in half and serve with the salad…and some toast, if you’re hungry!

Notes

  • This masala omelette recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for more people...just make sure you use a bigger frying pan.
