Omelettes are part of every cuisine; the French makes their own version and so do Greeks, Italians, Japanese, and Iranians. I grew up eating the Indian version of the omelette which has little spices, but is full of veggies and eggs. Do you know there are street vendors who sell only omelette to make a living? We love to have omelettes at any time of the day, and not only as breakfast dish, but also as brunch or side accompany to lunch or dinner. To making this Indian omelette I used mainly egg whites and 2 whole eggs along with veggies and spices like chili powder, turmeric, green chili, and pepper.
As my 2 year old is happy egg eater, he loves to eat scrambled eggs and omelette; he is ardent fan of anything with eggs. Whereas my 5 year old daughter is cookie and cupcake lover who loves to eat cookie batter as well as cupcake batter, and is fond of licking the remains in the bowl while I am baking a cookie or cupcakes. I always afraid of her eating raw eggs because of salmonella fear. Now I am happy that I found the pasteurized Safest Choice Eggs.
Since this Indian omelette is very versatile, you can add any veggies; I used onion, green onion, tomato, green chili and spices.
