Ingredients for Egg Omelette Curry

For the Omelette:

• Eggs: large, free range organic eggs taste best and are a better option. But you could use regular eggs too.
• Other Ingredients: Onion chopped, Green Chili chopped, Coriander leaves, Salt

For the Curry:

• Veggies: tomatoes, chopped, green chillies
• Spices: cumin seeds, turmeric powder, kashmiri red chilli, coriander powder, garam masala powder
• Aromatics: Chopped onion, ginger garlic paste
• Oil
• Salt to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Omelette

1. Beat the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fluffy. Add chopped onions, green chilies, coriander leaves and salt. Mix well.
2. Cook the Omelette: Heat oil or ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly. Cook until the omelette is set and golden brown on both sides.
3. Remove from the pan and let it cool slightly. Cut the omelette into square or rectangular pieces and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Spicy Curry Gravy

1. Sauté the Onions: In the same pan, heat oil or ghee. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
2. Add the Spices: Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chilies. Sauté until the raw smell disappears. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
3. Add the Tomatoes: Add in the tomatoes and cook until the oil starts to separate from the masala. This step is crucial to ensure the tomatoes are well-cooked and the flavors are fully developed.
4. Simmer the Gravy: Add salt to taste and about a cup of water to the masala. Let the gravy simmer for 10-15 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together. Finally, add garam masala and mix well.

Step 3: Combine Omelette with Curry

1. Add the Omelette Pieces: Gently slide the omelette pieces into the simmering curry. Stir carefully to coat the omelette with the gravy, but avoid breaking them.
2. Cook Together: Let the omelette simmer in the curry for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the omelette to absorb the spicy gravy.
3. Garnish and Serve: Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice, roti, or naan.

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.

Tips for Making the Perfect Egg Omelette Curry

1. Choose Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs make the fluffiest omelettes, which are perfect for soaking up the curry gravy.
2. Adjust Spice Levels: If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of red chili powder and green chilies. For a spicier kick, increase the quantities.
3. Customize the Omelette: Feel free to add additional ingredients to the omelette, such as chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, or even cheese, for a more indulgent dish.
4. Cook the Gravy Well: Make sure the tomato gravy is cooked until the oil separates. This ensures that the raw taste of the tomatoes is gone and the curry is rich in flavor.
5. 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.

Variations of Egg Omelette Curry

1. Cheese Omelette Curry

For a creamy twist, add grated cheese to the omelette mixture before cooking. The cheese melts into the omelette, adding richness to the curry.

2. Vegetable Omelette Curry

Incorporate finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms into the omelette mixture for added nutrition and texture.

3. Coconut Omelette Curry

For a South Indian flair, replace water with coconut milk in the curry. This adds a mild sweetness and richness to the dish.
