Calories: 202kcal
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon tandoori masala spice mix (See recipe notes for substitution information.)
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- pinch of turmeric
- 1 ounce whole milk
- ½ tablespoon butter or olive oil
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- small handful fresh herbs: cilantro and diced green onion recommended
Instructions
- Whisk eggs together with all other ingredients except butter, salt, and herbs.
- Preheat an omelette pan to just under medium heat. Add butter, and let it melt. (Do not let the butter brown.)
- Pour eggs into pan, swirl eggs around pan to spread out the mixture, and then add salt and half the herbs to the center of the mixture. DON'T TOUCH your omelette for about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the edges of the eggs start pulling away from the pan and appear crisp, use a plastic spatula to fold (or roll) the omelette together.
- Remove from heat immediately, even though the inside will still appear runny, because the inside will continue cooking from the heat of the surrounding egg.
- Top with remaining herbs and serve immediately.
