(Omelette Indian Style, Omelete, Omelet)

Omelette is made by pan with beaten eggs that is spread like a pancake and pan fried. In India, omelettes are made for unexpected guests or when one is short of time. It is so simple to put together. I have tasted so many varieties of omelette in different places including the cheesy omelette, fluffy omelette, masala omelette, vegetable omelette etc. Today I will be sharing the recipe for the classic Indian style omelette. It is an old style recipe that has been followed for years.

Another famous type of omelette in India is the Masala Omelette. I have given the recipe of that also below. These omelettes are served as a simple breakfast as such or with some toasted bread. They also make a good side dish for rice or chapatti.
