Saturdays keep us busy in clubs that would split both dog tired due to late night plans, our hangover continues till next day and by the time we are awake its already brunch time! Eggs play a very important role in our foodie world, our egg carton being well stocked with eggs as they can make an appearance when we have guests, they can be freshly made in lesser duration of time. I usually make egg salad, egg curry or egg biryani when I don’t have an extra time to cook for guests who happen to pop by.
On Sundays all we think is of a ritualistic breakfast; cheesy egg omelette, crisp paratha or Indian flat bread and of course numerous cups of masala tea to erase the sleepiness of disrupted nights, hopeful and expectant rabbit will anxiously await for its share of breakfast. Paratha or Indian flat bread that looks like tortillas are crisp, soft, flaky and rich dough with oil or clarified butter that goes well with fried eggs or pickles.
Almost every country has its own version and touch in making an omelette, from the crepe style basic French one to the glorified Italian frittata, A desi omelette is a sub-continental version. An omelette is the simplest version of easy options for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, a rapidly whisk mixture of egg, pepper, salt and water that is immediately poured onto the hot griddle giving a soft and tender center and crisp texture from outsides. Being a vegan since childhood, I never liked eggs, breaking an egg used to be a strenuous task for me. It took me 2 months to actually get into eggs rule, Ya! Rules to crack an egg properly, rules to perfectly hard boil eggs, rules to poach an egg and rules to flip a fried egg without breaking it. I would sit and watch warily hoping that one day I would be cracking an egg like my hubby does.
So here I am, finally with another egg recipe, but this time the soft protein of the egg omelette is made by my husband dearest. He adds a few splash of water for soft and fluffy omelette with a bright and fresh heat of green chilies.
