• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 green chili, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped

• ½ teaspoon red chili powder
• ½ teaspoon garam masala
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons oil or ghee

Preparation Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well until uniform in consistency.
2. Add milk (if using) and beat again for 30 seconds to incorporate air.
3. Add all the chopped vegetables (onion, green chili, coriander) to the egg mixture.
4. Sprinkle all the dry spices - turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt.
5. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Cooking Instructions

1. Heat oil or ghee in a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium heat.
2. Once the oil is hot (test by dropping a small bit of mixture - it should sizzle), pour the egg mixture into the pan.
3. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until the edges start setting.
4. Gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan to let uncooked egg flow to the sides.
5. After 2-3 minutes when the bottom is golden brown, carefully flip the omelet.
6. Cook the other side for another 2 minutes until fully cooked through.
7. For a crispier version, press down gently with the spatula while cooking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve hot with:

• Buttered toast or pav (Indian bread rolls)
• A side of ketchup or green chutney
• Masala chai for authentic Indian breakfast experience
• Fresh salad or sliced cucumbers

Tips: For extra protein, you can add 1 tablespoon of besan (gram flour) to the egg mixture. If you prefer softer omelet, cover the pan with a lid after pouring the mixture to cook from top with steam.
