This is one of my favourite omelette because it is a perfect one for vegetarians who do not eat eggs or like eggs in food (I am one of them :D). When I was wee, my mummy made egg omelettes with loads of onion and tomato and fresh coriander. Me and suchi meow competed with each other who would get the first omelette. But after some years she had all the luck of getting all of them. I stopped eating eggs.
Tomato Omelette(Vegetarian)
So my sweet ajji (Papa’s mummy) made this omelette when I stopped eating eggs. Instead of eggs you have besan (gram flour or chane ka aata).
(Dear seemutti, aapki farmaaish puri kar rahin huun)
To make 6 omelettes:
Ingredients:
1 Onion chopped finely
1 Tomato finely chopped
some fresh chopped coriander leaves
1 green chilli chopped finely (depending on the hotness)
3-4 tablespoonful of besan (large spoon)
a pinch of turmeric powder, garam masala powder optional
Method:
- In a bowl add the chopped onion, tomato, green chilli.
- Add a pinch of turmeric powder, garam masala powder.
- Sprinkle some salt. Mix well. Add the chopped coriander leaves.
- Now add the besan (gram flour). Mix well.
- Add some water. The consistency should be like idli batter, a bit thick.
- In a flat pan, when heated, add some oil and pour two spoons of batter.
- Flatten the batter as you would for dosa.
- Cook till the batter is cooked or crisp.
- Serve with Tomato ketcup or green chutney.
Note: If you like thinner consistency add more water to the batter and roll out the batter like a dosa.
