Pakistani style omelette

The following recipe serves one person.

Ingredients:

1. Eggs: 2 medium sized 
2. Tomatoes: 1, medium sized, chopped
3. Onion: 1 small, fine chopped
4. Milk: 2-3 tbsp
5. Green chilli: 1 tbsp, sliced
6. Black pepper: a pinch
7. Salt (to taste)
8. Red chilli flakes (a pinch)
9. Fresh coriander: 1 tbsp, chopped
10. Olive oil: 2 tbsp
11. Cheese (optional): Shredded (2-3 tbsp). I used Gouda (dutch cheese). You may use cheddar if you like.

Instructions:

Whisk the eggs and the milk in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add a pinch of black pepper, red chilli flakes, salt and whisk a little more.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan (preferably non-stick). Sauté onion until it just changes color.

Add the tomatoes, coriander and green chilli to the pan. Sauté until the tomatoes are slightly tender. Do not over cook. Add some salt and black pepper. Keep in mind that the egg mixture also has salt and pepper.

Now, add the egg mixture to the pan and tilt it in all directions to let the mixture cover the whole base. Lower the heat and allow the egg to set. Cover the pan with a lid (if you dont have a lid, use a plate).

Once the egg mixture is set and the color has changed, carefully change its side with the help of a flat plate. Put the plate on top of the pan and carefully flip to slide the omelette onto the plate. Slide back the omelette into the pan with the just-set side at the bottom and the cooked-side on top.

Once the omelette is cooked, take it out on a plate. Serve with some nicely toasted bread. 

Alternatively ----- > The above method of making the omelette is a slightly fancy way of doing it. Since some of my friends may not like to put so much effort into it, i'd suggest an easier way.

After sautéing the vegetables, simply add the egg mixture to the pan and cook like scrambled eggs. 

Happy eating :)
