Notes

You can make an omelette even in one tsp oil. To keep away the egg smell, use a good amount of oil. Place it on an absorbent tissue if you don’t really want to consume much oil.

Alternative quantities provided in the recipe card are for 1x only, original recipe.

for mixing salt uniformly before adding onions and veggies pour a teaspoon of water and mix the salt int it so that it dissolves and would be consistent. Also cook the omelette with lid on to get a nice fluffy omelette
