One serving of this Sindhi Omelette (half of the total recipe) contains approximately 360-410 calories, depending on the exact size of the ingredients and the amount of oil absorbed during cooking.
The besan is the key ingredient that defines a 'Sindhi' omelette, giving it a unique nutty flavor and hearty, slightly dense texture. Making it without besan would result in a standard vegetable omelette, which is also delicious but different.
This usually happens if the omelette is not cooked enough before flipping. Ensure the top is almost completely set and the edges are firm. Cooking on medium-low heat helps it cook evenly. Using a wide spatula and a good non-stick pan will also make flipping much easier.
It is best to cook the omelettes immediately after preparing the batter. If the batter sits for too long, the vegetables will release water, thinning the batter and potentially making the omelette soggy.
