Spicy Masala Omelet

This omelet makes an easy brunch, light lunch or dinner.  It's filling, satisfying and full of bold flavors.



To start you will need:
1 medium onion chopped
2 green chilies or jalapenos finely diced
10-15 curry leaves
1 tsp cumin seed






Heat a large skillet with 1Tbs of canola on medium-high heat.  Add the cumin seed first and allow them to become fragrant (about 30-45 seconds).  Then add the chopped onion and green chilies.  Saute until soft.





Now add:
2-3 cloves of garlic grated
1 Tbs of grated ginger

Saute a minute until fragrant.




Add some diced boiled potato (2-3 large potatoes).  Also add some salt and pepper for seasoning and saute for a few minutes.

* Note you will have to pre-boil the potatoes for this dish.  You want the potatoes fork tender, but not mushy.





Now Add:
1 tsp of garam masala
1 tsp of red chili flakes (or to taste)
1/4 tsp of ground turmeric






Optional: I also added some diced green bell peppers.  You can use fresh or frozen. I think the peppers give added flavor and color to the dish.
Saute and taste for seasoning at this point.  If you are satisfied with the flavor you can turn off the stove.

Note:  this mixture should make 3-5 omelets depending how much you use.


You will use 3 whole eggs for each omelet. 

To every three eggs also add:
a pinch of salt and pepper
1 Tbs of whole milk
1 pinch of ground turmeric

Beat the eggs with a whisk well.



I cooked the eggs in a separate frying pan (8inch non-stick).  I coated the pan with some canola oil and got it heated on medium heat.  I added a portion of the filling I made earlier to the pan.  Then poured the egg mixture and moved it around so the eggs started to cook.



I then lowered the heat to low and put a tight fitting lid on the pan to trap the steam and cook the top of the omelet.  If you cannot do this you can flip the omelet or put it into an oven to finish cooking it through.  Topping with a lid was the easiest method for me.

Cook for a few minutes on low and when the egg is almost set, turn off the stove and allow to sit with the lid for a few minutes to finish cooking.




Each omelet serves 1-2 people.  You can make 3-5 omelets with the potato mixture and add the eggs accordingly.  Garnish with spring onions, parsley or even cilantro if you like.  We enjoyed it with toast or you can even it with a rice and curry meal as the meat dish.   Enjoy.

Note:  If 3-5 omelets is more than you require for your family, you can keep the mixture in the fridge for a few days and make an omelet whenever you like as a quick meal.
