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.

How to make omelette

1. Wash the veggies. You can use only onion / shallot or other veggies like firm ripe tomatoes (deseeded), capsicum and grated carrots. Chop onions, capsicum, green chili and tomato finely and add to a bowl. Add salt and turmeric. Mix well.

2. Add the eggs.

3. Beat until frothy.

4. Add oil to a pan and heat it. Do not let the pan turn extra hot.

5. When it is just hot enough, pour the eggs mixture.

6. Wait until the base firms up, flip it to the other side. Cook until the egg and veggies are cooked.

7. I prefer to flip the omelette again and cook to make sure it is cooked thru fully.  Switch off the stove. To finish off, sprinkle a dash of pepper powder or red chilli powder if you desire.

Serve it as it is or with rice, roti or bread.
