   • Add the finely chopped tomato and cook for 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and mushy.
   • Add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Sauté for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.

   Cook the Omelettes

   • Heat 0.5 tbsp of the remaining ghee in a non-stick skillet or omelette pan over low-medium heat.
   • Pour half of the whisked egg mixture into the pan and swirl to create an even layer.
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the edges are set and the top is almost cooked but still slightly moist.
   • Spoon half of the prepared paneer filling onto one side of the omelette.
   • Carefully fold the other half over the filling to create a semi-circle.
   • Press down gently with a spatula and cook for another 30-60 seconds to seal.
   • Slide the finished omelette onto a serving plate.
   • Repeat the process with the remaining ghee, egg mixture, and filling to make the second omelette.
