OMELETTE

      Omelette is one of the most frequented dishes at home.  This is an easy recipe which can be combined and served along with Bread, Chapati or Rice.  A classic Indian style Omelette prepared with a combination of Onion, Green Chillies and Egg, mildly seasoned with Salt and Pepper Powder, shallow fried in your choice of Vegetable Oil/Butter until crisp at the edges, soft, fluffy and moist Omelette with a fiery note of spiciness from Chillies and Pepper Powder.
     Simply combine this Classic Indian style Omelette with Bread along with Tomato Ketchup or Sweet Chilli Sauce. These spicy Omelettes are also good to be served along with Rice.  A simple Lunch Menu of Rice, Curry and Omelette marks its goodness as such.
     Eggs are whisked along with finely chopped Onions/Shallots, Green Chillies, Turmeric Powder and Salt.  I usually add some Mayonnaise/Milk while whisking the Eggs, which would help you get soft, fluffy and moist Omelettes.  This is a simple and quick fix recipe.  My husband has his own preference when it comes to Omelette, he likes to spice up the Omelettes with Red Chilli Powder and loves it to be served with a hearty sprinkle of Pepper Powder. Omelettes loaded with fieriness.
