Green garlic is young garlic before the cloves have fully matured. It has a milder, less pungent flavor than mature garlic.

The key to a fluffy omelette is incorporating air. Whisk the eggs vigorously for at least a minute until they are pale and frothy. You can also add a splash of milk or water (about 1 tablespoon per 2 eggs) to create steam, which helps puff up the omelette as it cooks.
This omelette pairs wonderfully with buttered toast, Indian pav (soft bread rolls), or whole wheat rotis. A side of mint chutney or tomato ketchup also complements the flavors well.
