Food Fetish: Somewhat of a Masala Omelet

I go through phases where I get hooked on a food for several weeks at a time. Very much like a toddler does. tongue rolleye

Here's my latest bastardized concoction. It's based on a masala omelet.

You'll need:

2 extra-large eggs
2 green onions
1 red chile (or flakes)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp turmeric
salt and black pepper to taste
1 large wheat flour tortilla

Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

In a 12 inch non-stick skillet on medium heat just warm up the tortilla and put it aside. Drizzle about a tablespoon of canola oil and sauté the onions (chopped), cumin, coriander, chile, and turmeric for a few minutes and be careful not to let it burn!

Pour the egg mixture over the onion, chile and spices and swirl it around to cover the base. While the top is still 'wet' place the tortilla onto to it. Turn the heat off and place a lid on it for about a minute.

To pop it out, place a dinner plate serving side down onto the tortilla and with your hand on the back of the plate, turn the frying pan upside down and the omelet should some right out.

I like to add some HP sauce or mango chutney onto the egg and then roll it up!

On its own, its a yummy and satisfying snack. Add a bowl of soup and a salad, you have a a really nice meal. smile


UPDATE

Ith posted her variation in the comments section and it looks really yummy too. Why don't you?

  • Being from an Italian dad and a french Canadian mother, I've seen alot at weddings. I'll agree I've seen some degrading things. I remember at my cousins wedding (french side), the men danced with the bride and pinned money to her dress but also the women danced with the groom and pinned money to his tux. Luckily my dad didn't want that at my wedding.

  • I have to admit the whole garter dealie doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me either. Neither does the table centrepiece giveaway... How many table-sized colour-coded custom vases can you possibly use?

And it was always that third one that stressed me, to make a difference. And I realise that I do. Every day, we all do. It’s how we interact, with our fellow man.”
