What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Chop the onion and green chili very fine so the omelette spreads thinly and doesn't tear when flipped.
- 2Beat the eggs until fully uniform; streaky whites make the omelette cook unevenly and turn rubbery in spots.
- 3Spread each omelette only to the size of two bread slices so the edges stay neat inside the sandwich.
- 4Cook on medium heat and pull the omelette off when just set; it will finish from residual heat and stay soft.
- 5Toast the bread right before assembling so it keeps its crisp edges against the moist omelette and ketchup.
- 6If packing for later, cool the omelette slightly before sandwiching to prevent steam from softening the bread.

Yes, you can mix it a few hours ahead and refrigerate it, but stir again before cooking because the chopped vegetables settle at the bottom.
