Add a tiny pinch of grated nutmeg or a drop of kewra water (pandan essence) for an extra layer of Mughlai aroma.
Feel free to use other nuts like cashews or walnuts, lightly toasted and chopped.
Eggs provide complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids necessary for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle health.
Saffron is known for its potential mood-boosting effects and is often called the 'sunshine spice'. It contains compounds that may help alleviate symptoms of mild depression.
The inclusion of almonds, pistachios, and ghee provides monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health and brain function.
Saffron contains powerful antioxidants like crocin and safranal, which help protect your cells against oxidative stress and free radicals.

Yes, it's a very healthy dish. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein from eggs and provides healthy fats from nuts and ghee. Saffron itself has antioxidant properties, making this a nutritious and satisfying meal.
Absolutely. You can substitute the milk with a neutral-flavored plant-based milk like unsweetened almond or oat milk, and use a dairy-free butter or a neutral oil instead of ghee.
It pairs beautifully with soft, slightly sweet breads like Sheermal or a simple Paratha. Buttered toast or a side of fresh fruit also works well for a simple brunch.
A rubbery texture is usually caused by overcooking or using heat that is too high. Cook the omelette on a gentle medium-low heat and remove it from the pan when the top is still slightly moist. The residual heat will finish cooking it to perfection.
