Masala Omelette
Ingredients:
4 eggs – organic or free range
2 tablespoons of whole or skim milk
1 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon of Organic ground turmeric powder
¼ teaspoon of ground Cayenne powder
¼ teaspoon of Garam masala
1 cup of freshly chopped mint
½ cup of chopped fresh cilantro
2 onions (small size) – sliced into thin slices
Salt to taste
Directions:
In a wide nonstick pan heat ½ tablespoon of the olive oil on a moderate heat.
Add the onions, spices, and chopped herbs to this oil and begin to sauté until the onions are translucent.
Remove the mixture from heat and add to a large bowl.
Beat eggs with some salt in a separate bowl and slowly add milk until the eggs are nice and frothy.
Add the spiced herbs and onions (when cooled) into the egg mixture and fold gently until fully incorporated, making sure not to deflate mixture.
Heat a nonstick pan with the remaining oil on a moderate heat and get a cloche ready.
When the pan is heated, gently add the eggs in two batches.
Gently lift the sides of the omelette as it cooks to allow uncooked egg to flow in. When there is no more egg mixture flowing freely in the pan, place the cloche on the pan and turn down to a very low heat.
This will allow the egg to gently steam.
Remove cloche and fold omelette and serve on a plate with your choice of Roti, Bread, Naan, Quinoa, or rice, and enjoy!
This is a favorite family recipe passed down from my grandparents. The egg is brilliantly spiced with healthy spices and herbs that are loaded with antioxidants and flavor. This recipe transforms the humble egg into an ingredient that can be enjoyed in a more versatile/creative manner. So the next time you are tempted to boil an egg or scramble it, try this omelette—it will give you much joy! As always, pay attention to your health and the foods you eat and live long and strong!
