Tamil Omelette

A perfectly spiced, protein-packed Tamil Omelette - a quick and energy-giving treat for any time!

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Egg Mixture

   • In a medium-sized bowl, crack the 8 eggs.
   • Add the finely chopped red onion, green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves to the bowl.
   • Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, freshly ground black pepper, and salt.
   • Using a fork or a whisk, beat the mixture vigorously for 1-2 minutes. The goal is to incorporate air, making the mixture light and frothy for a fluffy omelette.
2. 2

   Cook the Omelette

   • Place a flat pan (tawa) or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and let it heat up until it shimmers slightly.
   • Pour a quarter of the egg mixture (enough for one 2-egg omelette) onto the hot pan. Gently swirl the pan to spread the mixture into an even circle.
   • Cook for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes, until the edges begin to set and turn golden brown, and the top is mostly cooked but still slightly moist.
   • Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half or flip it over entirely. Cook for another 30-60 seconds until it's cooked through to your liking.

   Repeat and Serve

   • Slide the cooked omelette onto a serving plate.
   • Wipe the pan if needed, add another tablespoon of oil, and repeat the cooking process with the remaining egg mixture to make three more omelettes.
   • Serve immediately while hot with toast, bread, or as a side with rice and sambar.
