- 2Deseeding the tomato is crucial to prevent the omelette from becoming soggy.
- 3Cook the omelette on medium-low heat to ensure it cooks evenly without browning too quickly.
- 4For an extra creamy texture, you can add 1 tablespoon of milk or cream to the egg mixture.
- 5Don't have all the individual spices? You can use 1 teaspoon of a pre-made 'egg curry masala' or 'kitchen king masala' instead.
