Background

Masala omelette is a very popular dish in India, but there not just for breakfast. It's a famous street food that's popular day and night in Mumbai. There are many different recipes, this is a basic version - you can add more spices or veggies such as mushrooms, ginger, garlic or red pepper. It's very easy to make, ready in a few minutes - so perfect for brunch or a snack. Serve it with a roll (or the Indian Pav).

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 green chilli
1 tomato
2 spring onions or 1 small onion
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
¼ tsp garam masala
Couple of pinches of turmeric powder
Salt and pepper
Coriander leaves
About 1 tsp of oil for cooking

Instructions

Beat the eggs.
Chop the spring onions, chilli and tomato. Add to the egg.
Add the spices, season to taste. Combine well.
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Once hot, reduce the heat, add the eggs mixture and swirl around the pan for the mixture to spread evenly.
When the egg is no longer runny in the middle and the edges are getting brown, flip over to cook on the other side for 30 seconds.
Double fold as in the picture to create an envelope shape, or just roll it up like a pancake.
Serve with a couple of slices of chilli and coriander leaves scattered on top.
