Masala Omelette

The Masala Omelette blends eggs with spices such as tandoori masala, ginger, cayenne, and turmeric along with milk for a softly spiced, colorful omelette. Using fresh herbs like cilantro and green onion adds brightness, creating a cooked egg layer with a tender texture and a bit of aromatic kick.

Ingredients

  • 2 egg
  • 1 teaspoon tandoori masala See recipe notes for substitution information, spice mix
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Turmeric pinch
  • 1 ounce milk whole
  • ½ tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt sea salt
  • cilantro small handful; diced green onion recommended
  • green onion small handful; diced green onion recommended

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk eggs together with all other ingredients except butter, salt, and herbs. 
  2. Preheat an omelette pan to just under medium heat.  Add butter, and let it melt.  (Do not let the butter brown.)
  3. Pour eggs into pan, swirl eggs around pan to spread out the mixture, and then add salt and half the herbs to the center of the mixture. DON'T TOUCH your omelette for about 2-3 minutes. 
  4. Once the edges of the eggs start pulling away from the pan and appear crisp, use a plastic spatula to fold (or roll) the omelette together.
  5. Remove from heat immediately, even though the inside will still appear runny, because the inside will continue cooking from the heat of the surrounding egg.
  6. Top with remaining herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

  • The omelette serves one.
  • For the tandoori spice mix, combine cumin, garlic powder, paprika, ginger, coriander, and cardamom; use 1 teaspoon as a substitute for pre-made masala.
  • You can substitute garam masala if tandoori masala is unavailable.
