Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 Tomato, finely chopped
- 1 green chili, minced (seeds out for mild)
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- Big handful cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbsp ghee or neutral oil
- Salt
- Buttered toast or roti, to serve
Method
- Whisk the eggs with the turmeric, cumin, and a good pinch of salt until evenly sunshine-yellow.
- Stir the Onion, Tomato, chili, and most of the cilantro straight into the eggs — in a masala omelette the vegetables ride inside, not on top.
- Heat half the ghee in a nonstick skillet over medium. Pour in half the egg mixture and swirl to coat the pan.
- Cook 2–3 minutes until the underside is golden and the top is barely set, then fold in half and slide onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining ghee and eggs.
- Shower with the reserved cilantro and serve hot with buttered toast — or fold it into a sandwich, street-style.
