If you love eggs as much as I do then take out the utensils to cook perfect gravy Omelette. Made with well-whipped eggs which have onion, and chilies in a rich spicy tomato gravy. As I always say, eggs are so versatile, combine them with different types of masala/spices and gravies there is always some new dish around the corner. 

The omelette curry is not really a new dish, but a delicious one for sure. I have been making it from almost a decade. Other than regular boiled egg recipes, this is a regular egg curry recipes that I cook at home. If you like to try other egg curry recipes, This Punjabi egg curry masala, Tari wali egg curry, Mumbai Masala egg curry and South Indian egg curry are some of the other favourites.

Now that we are talking about egg recipes allow me to mention a few more of my favourite egg recipes in case you also like to try them.  I am assuming that if you have read this far you are a true egg lover like I am:D

When I am not making Masala Omelet with cheese or this Omelette curry I make Middle eastern shakshuka or egg in the hole sandwich.

Enough talking about eggs, let’s get back to the recipe. Omelette curry is made with masala omelette, only, in this case, masala omelette is made quite thick so you can cut omelette into chunks. It takes a slightly different method to manoeuvre the omelette of this thickness, I highly suggest you watch the video. It is not difficult, but slightly different.

The only difficulty I faced when I first cooked the recipe was while cooking the omelette. Since I mixed the batter with onions and chillies it became thick. The first batch was raw from inside so I cooked the second one by flipping the other side of the omelette in another pan. I think this simple trick has helped me in cooking this recipe perfectly.

People often ask me how to avoid gravy disasters while making curries. I suggest them to cook the gravy with patience :). A mouth-watering recipe starts with well-roasted spices. Since omelette curry is a tomato-onion based gravy it must be cooked. You will know that the tomato and spices are well cooked when the oil starts to leave the corner of the pan. This is the secret of making amazing curries.

Only add omelette chunks in gravy when you are ready to serve. It absorbs gravy like a sponge. While spongy omelette infused with curry tastes absolutely great with chapati or paratha, but if you are serving with rice you need a little bit of gravy as well. Still, if you make some extra and have spongy omelette pieces soaked in gravy, you can make this omelette curry Frankie. These taste absolutely delicious! Believe me it’s worth making some extra curry just for these. Plus if you are a lazy cook like me that makes it two meals from one 😀

 Omelette Curry – Recipe Notes

• Whisk the batter for a thin paste and then pour all of it in a pan. Cook from one side and for the other side take another non-stick pan, flip the omelette on it and then cook it again.
• You may add some butter or spray some oil on the other pan if you wish.
• Cook the spices and onion-tomato paste until the oil/masala starts to leave the pan.
• Cut the omelette into pieces and then carefully add it in the gravy.

I am often asked about the Pans and other things that I use in my cooking videos and recipes. I am giving Links to buy these You can check those links and buy. You can buy WOK by clicking the link or the Pan I have used in the Video from Amazon here.

Recipe Notes

Serve the omelette gravy immediately after cooking as the omeltte will start absorbing the gravy. So, serve it right after cooking or you can make the gravy prior to the omelette. And then mix it with the curry.
