Ingredients
For the Omelette
- 2 Lamb Brains
- 5 Eggs large
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp Pepper Powder black
- 1/4 cup Coriander finely chopped; also known as dhania
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder adjust to taste, red
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder also known as haldi
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala or a good quality curry powder
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil for cooking
Instructions
Preparing the Lamb Brains
- Carefully rinse the lamb brains under cold running water. Soak them in a mixture of 1 tbsp of white vinegar and 1 quart of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove any impurities. Drain thoroughly and mince into very fine pieces.
Preparing the Vegetables and Spices
- Finely chop the onion. Wash and finely chop the coriander leaves.
Combining the Ingredients
- In a large bowl, crack and whisk the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the minced lamb brains, chopped onion, turmeric powder, chili powder, garam masala, pepper powder, chopped coriander, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Cooking the Omelette
- Heat the vegetable oil in a flat pan or skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg and brain mixture into the hot pan. Drizzle a little oil around the edges. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the top begins to set and the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the omelette and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
Serving
- Remove the omelette from the pan and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Chettinad Brain Omelette
- Proper Brain Cleaning is Key: Thoroughly cleaning the brain is crucial for removing any lingering odors or unpleasant textures. Soaking in vinegar helps considerably.
- Spice it Up (or Down!): Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preference. For a milder omelette, use finely chopped green chilies instead, or reduce the red chili powder.
- Don't Overcook: Overcooking will make the omelette dry and tough. Cook over low to medium heat, and flip only when the bottom is nicely browned.
- Fresh Herbs Enhance Flavor: Using fresh coriander (cilantro) greatly enhances the aroma and freshness of the dish.
