Masala Omelette Pav

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Omelette Mixture

   • In a medium bowl, crack the 4 eggs.
   • Add the finely chopped onion, tomato, green chillies, and coriander leaves.
   • Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt, and black pepper.
   • Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy. This helps make the omelette fluffy.
2. 2

   Cook the First Omelette

   • Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter and let it melt and coat the pan.
   • Pour half of the egg mixture into the hot pan. Swirl the pan to spread the mixture into an even circle.
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set and the top is mostly cooked but still slightly moist.
3. 3

   Toast the Pav

   • While the omelette is cooking, slit one pav horizontally, keeping one edge intact so it opens like a book.
   • In the same pan, next to the omelette, add another 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
   • Place the pav, cut-side down, onto the melted butter. Toast for 30-60 seconds until golden brown and slightly crisp.
4. 4

   Assemble the First Serving

   • Once the omelette is almost set, carefully fold it in half using a spatula.
   • Cook the folded omelette for another 30 seconds.
   • Slide the toasted pav off the pan, open it, and place the hot folded omelette inside. Press gently.
   • Serve the first Masala Omelette Pav immediately.
5. 5

   Prepare the Second Serving

   • Wipe the pan clean if needed. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
   • Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 with the remaining egg mixture and the second pav to make the next serving.
6. 6

   Serve

   • Serve hot, accompanied by tomato ketchup, green chutney, or a hot cup of masala chai.
