Ingredients
For the Omelettes
For the Curry
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped or grated, for desired consistency
- 1 large Tomato chopped
- 2 medium Potato peeled and sliced lengthwise
- 1 Chili green, slit lengthwise
- 1 handful Coriander chopped, cilantro, for garnish
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder dhania
- 1 tsp Cumin Seed jeera

- 1 tsp Kashmiri Chili Powder red
- 1 tsp Panch Phoron five-spice blend
- 1 tbsp Mustard Oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 pinch Sugar

Instructions
Prepare the Omelettes
- Make two omelettes (two eggs each) with finely chopped onion, green chili, and salt. Cook until set.
- Cut the omelettes into bite-sized square or triangle pieces. Set aside.
Sauté Potatoes
- Heat 1/2 tbsp mustard oil in a pan until it reaches a smoking point. Reduce heat, then add the potatoes and sauté until they are about half-cooked. Set aside.
Make the Curry
- Heat the remaining oil (1 tbsp mustard oil + 1.5 tsp refined oil) in the same pan. Add panch phoron and let it splutter.
- Add the chopped or grated onions. Fry until translucent.
- Add grated ginger and fry for 3-4 minutes over low-medium heat to prevent burning.
- Add chopped tomatoes, salt, turmeric powder, and chili powder. Fry until the tomatoes are mushy and the masala is cooked.
- Add the sautéed potatoes, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Sauté for 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
- Add 1-1.5 cups of hot water and the slit green chili. Adjust water according to desired consistency.
- Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the omelette pieces and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring not to overcook.
Serve
- Serve the omelette curry hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves. Enjoy with rice or rotis.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a smoother curry, grate the onions instead of chopping them.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Don't overcook the omelettes in the gravy; they may break apart.
- For a richer flavor, use a blend of mustard oil and refined oil. The mustard oil adds a distinct flavor, while the refined oil prevents the curry from becoming too heavy.
