Delicious Indian Masala Omelette
Delicious Indian Masala Omelette - Masala Omelette is an indian omelette that is quick to make, delicious and something we have in our home every other day at breakfast time. Essentially it is an Omelette that is spiced with aromatic Indian Spices such as Red Chilli and Turmeric. This is a highly adaptable recipe and we often make it with adaptations such as added Veggies.

Notes
Another way of making Masala Omelette
After you heated the oil or ghee, you can then add Onion and cook till golden. Then add garlic and tomatoes (and any other veg) and cook for a few minutes before adding the spices. Once they are fragrant, you add in the whisked eggs (with milk if using) and coriander and cook.Serving Suggestions
I like to have my omelette in a chapatti rolled up with some green chutney, or with toast (under the grill) but some people swear by white bread only or a Pav. You can also serve with Chapatti/Roti, Paratha, ghee Roti (dribble) or in a wrap. Many people serve it with toasted bread slices and tomato ketchup but I am not a fan of ketchup!Variations
Chaat A sprinkling works really well here. Loaded Veggie Omelette Add allllll the veg and increase the number of eggs you use. Good options are Onions, Peppers, Mushrooms, Sweetcorn, Tomatoes, Broccoli, Spinach, Asparagus. Cheese Omelette You can add grated cheddar to the egg mixture to make a cheesy omelette or add it at the end, before sliding under the grill for a minute. Milk You can add Milk, Cream or Creme Fraich for super creamy Eggs. Mushroom Cheese Omelette Add the mushrooms and cheese in with the egg mix. So good. Masala Omelette Quesadilla Make a Quesadilla version! French Toast Masala Omelette French Toast Omelette Toast Another way to serve it is to embed the bread (remove the crusts into the omelette) before flipping. You can also flip the Egg into the Toast to create a sandwich.Storage and Reheating
Omelettes keep surprisingly well for up to 3 days in the fridge but I would not recommend making them ahead of time. They are best served immediately after making. If you do have leftovers and wish to reheat, the best method is to do it on the stove top with a teaspoon of Oil. You can also microwave for 10 seconds at a time to avoid drying the omelette out.Freezer Instructions
Omelettes can be frozen for up to 3 months. To store in the freezer, wrap tightly or place into freezer bags or an airtight container. To reheat, simply add to a pan with preheated oil and cook covered gently over a low flame.Nutrition
