Add the finely chopped red onion, deseeded tomato, green chili, and coriander leaves.
Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.
Using a whisk or fork, beat the mixture vigorously for 1-2 minutes until it becomes light, frothy, and well combined. This incorporates air and makes the omelette fluffy.
2
Cook the First Omelette
Place a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
Once the oil is hot (it should shimmer slightly), pour half of the prepared egg mixture into the center of the pan.
Gently tilt the pan to spread the mixture into an even circle.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the bottom is a light golden brown. You will see the top becoming less liquid.
3
Fold and Finish
Using a flat spatula, carefully lift one side of the omelette and fold it over to the center, creating a semi-circle.
Gently press down on the folded omelette to help cook the inside.
Cook for another 1 minute, then flip and cook the other side for 30-60 seconds until it's golden brown and cooked through.
Slide the finished omelette onto a plate.
4
Cook the Second Omelette and Serve
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan.
Pour the rest of the egg mixture into the hot pan and repeat the cooking and folding process.
Serve both omelettes immediately while hot, traditionally with buttered toast, pav (Indian bread rolls), or a side of ketchup.

Ingredients

0.25 cup Split Skinned Urad Dal
0.25 cup Split Skinned Moong Dal
3.5 cup Water (For pressure cooking, plus more if needed)
0.5 tsp Turmeric Powder
1.25 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste)
2 tbsp Ghee
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
0.25 tsp Hing
1 medium Onion (Finely chopped)
1 tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste
2 piece Green Chili (Slit lengthwise)
2 medium Tomato (Finely chopped)
0.75 tsp Red Chili Powder (Adjust to your spice preference)
1 tsp Coriander Powder
0.5 tsp Garam Masala
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (Freshly squeezed)
2 tbsp Coriander Leaves (Freshly chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
1
Prepare the Lentils (Soaking time: 2-4 hours)
Rinse the chana dal thoroughly and soak it in ample water for at least 2-4 hours. This is crucial for even cooking.
Just before cooking, drain the soaked chana dal.
In a separate bowl, rinse the urad dal and moong dal together until the water runs clear.
2
Pressure Cook the Dals (Time: 20-25 minutes)
Combine the soaked and drained chana dal, rinsed urad dal, and moong dal in a pressure cooker.
Add 3.5 cups of water, turmeric powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well.
Secure the lid and cook on medium-high heat for 5-6 whistles. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. Once safe, open the cooker.
Check if the dals are soft and mushy. Lightly mash the dal with the back of a ladle for a creamier texture.
3
Prepare the Tempering (Tadka) (Time: 10-12 minutes)
Heat ghee in a separate pan or kadai over medium heat.
