What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use day-old bread as it is slightly drier and absorbs the egg mixture without falling apart.
- 2Ensure all vegetables are chopped very finely so they adhere well to the bread during frying.
- 3A wide, shallow bowl is best for the egg mixture, making it easy to dip the bread slices evenly.
- 4Maintain a consistent medium heat. If the pan is too hot, the bread will burn before the egg cooks through.
- 5Press the bread omelette gently with a spatula after flipping to ensure it cooks evenly.
- 6For a richer flavor, be generous with the ghee.
