Masala Omelette

by Romy Gill

Omelettes were a huge part of my diet when I was growing up. They were something quick and easy for my dad to make for us when our mum was in hospital in Kolkata for her radiotherapy treatments. We would roll these omelettes up inside flatbreads or place them between two slices of bread toasted in a pan to make a sandwich, then eat them – always with tomato ketchup.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Place half the butter in a large bowl along with the remaining ingredients and whisk until combined.

Step 2

Heat the remaining butter in a frying pan (skillet) over a medium heat. As soon as it melts, add the omelette mixture and cook for 2 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the omelette over and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Step 3

Serve hot with ketchup and toast.
