Paratha, Aloo Chokha and Masala Omelette

Ingredients

• 500 g Potato (About 4 medium-sized)
• 1 medium Onion (Finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp Mustard Oil (Use raw, cold-pressed for authentic pungent flavor)
• 3 tbsp Coriander Leaves (Freshly chopped)
• 2 pcs Green Chilli (Finely chopped, adjust to taste)
• 2 pcs Dry Red Chilli (Dry roasted and coarsely crushed)
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice (Freshly squeezed)
• 1 inch Ginger (Finely grated or minced)
• 3 clove Garlic (Minced)
• 1 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Potatoes

   • Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a pressure cooker with enough water to cover them.
   • Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles or until tender. Alternatively, boil in a pot for 20-25 minutes until a fork can be inserted easily.
   • Once cooked, drain the water and let the potatoes cool down enough to handle. Peel the skin off.
2. 2

   Prepare the Aromatics

   • While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Finely chop the onion, green chilies, and coriander leaves. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
   • Place a small pan (tava) on low heat. Dry roast the dry red chilies for 1-2 minutes until they become fragrant and slightly darker. Be careful not to burn them.
   • Let the roasted chilies cool, then crush them coarsely with your fingers or a rolling pin.
3. 3

   Mash and Combine

   • In a large mixing bowl, add the peeled potatoes. Mash them using a potato masher or a fork.
   • Aim for a coarse, slightly chunky texture. Avoid making a smooth paste.

Ingredients

• 4 piece Large Egg (Bring to room temperature for a fluffier result.)
• 0.25 cup Red Onion (Finely chopped.)
• 0.25 cup Tomato (Deseeded and finely chopped.)
• 1 piece Green Chilli (Finely chopped. Adjust to your spice preference.)
• 2 tbsp Coriander Leaves (Finely chopped, plus extra for garnish.)
• 0.25 tsp Turmeric Powder (Adds color and a mild earthy flavor.)
• 0.25 tsp Red Chilli Powder (Optional, for extra heat.)
• 0.25 tsp Garam Masala (For a warm, aromatic finish.)
• 2 tbsp Milk (Optional, helps make the omelette tender.)
• 0.5 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste.)
• 0.25 tsp Black Pepper (Freshly ground is best.)
• 2 tsp Ghee (Can be substituted with butter or oil.)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Egg Mixture

   • In a medium-sized bowl, crack the 4 eggs. Add the milk (if using), turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper.
   • Using a fork or a whisk, beat the mixture vigorously for 1-2 minutes until it is light, well-combined, and slightly frothy. This incorporates air and is key to a fluffy omelette.
2. 2

   Add Vegetables

   • Add the finely chopped onion, deseeded tomato, green chilli, and coriander leaves to the whisked eggs.
   • Gently mix everything together until just combined. Avoid over-mixing at this stage.
3. 3

   Cook the First Omelette

   • Heat 1 teaspoon of ghee in an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles.
   • Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan. Swirl gently to spread it into an even circle.
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set and the bottom is a light golden brown. You can lift an edge with a spatula to check.
