Indian Spiced Omelet

Recipe #98927 | 20 min | 10 min prep | add private note

This is one of the best omelets you get from vendors on the streets to have between bread slices with maybe some ketchup and green chutney applied to each slice. Have a bite of our street cuisine.

    Zowie this is just bursting with flavor. I wish I had had a genuine whole wheat chapattis but had suffice with whole wheat tortillas. I wrapped the omelet in a tortilla & enjoyed eating it as finger food.As a munched I imagined myself being jostled alond a street in Bombay - Loved the spicy flavor and the hint of mint too. This could become a favorite as a California wrap sandwich. I served it with some pan fries, fresh sliced tomato & sweet onions Thanks Fay for a trip to Indian cusine

    Oh, Fay! This was AWESOME!!! Terrific flavor combo with tons of spice. Everything goes together very well and is definitely not like any omelet I've ever had! I had this for lunch in one of your Roti/Phulkas (#90817) with some yogurt and mango chutney. I didn't add any extra veggies and it was absolutely phenomenal. I will have this often, for sure! Best lunch I've had in a long time. Thanks Fay!
