Fouzia's Indian Chilli Omelette

I have a kitchen again! Hurrah! And I'm calling this my first bit of cooking in it. Pizza on the day you move in doesn't count! I've been wanting to make Fouzia's Chilli Omelette since she talked me through the recipe a few months ago. The recipe wasn't exactly precise, nor was my following it, but here is how I went about it for breakfast this morning (and I would recommend having more than just a single wooden spoon as kitchen utensil!):

Chop a couple of spring onions, setting the green bits aside. Fry the white bits in oil with about a pat of butter. Stir in spices, amounts to your preference - I went for half a teaspoon each of garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, red chilli powder and turmeric - and stir for a couple of minutes. Add a chopped tomato and let that cook for a minute or two. Beat two eggs with a splash of water and a pinch of salt. Pour egg mix in to frying pan, giving it a bit of a shoogle to mix the spices in to the eggs. Cook as you do an omelette. When ready, fold in half and serve with sliced tomato, chopped fresh coriander, the green spring onion chopped and a squeeze of our favourite (not sweet) chilli sauce.



Enjoy with a cup of chai tea and if you have them, a couple of chapatis.

Make another.
