6 steps

Ingredients

  • For the Omelette
  • 3 Egg Whites
  • 5 Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1 Small Red Onion, diced
  • 1 Green Chili, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Baby Spinach, roughly torn
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chaat Masala
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala
  • 2 tablespoons Light Olive Oil or Unsalted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Whole Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Aged Cheddar / Gouda, grated
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, chopped (with stalk)
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Others
  • 1 Challah Roll / Burger Bun / Soft Bread Roll
  • 1 teaspoon Softened Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Cilantro Chutney / Hot Sauce

Directions

  1. 1
    Beat the egg whites lightly with a pinch of salt, pepper, and milk. Keep aside
  2. 2
    Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan. Once hot, add the chilies, tomatoes & onions, with a pinch of salt. Cook till the onions are translucent and the tomatoes are soft enough to crush. Stir in all the dry spices, and cook for a quick few seconds. Add the spinach & cilantro, and cook till the leaves wilt.
  3. 3
    Add the beaten egg white, stir a little and then let it set. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top (if using) and let the egg cook completely on medium-low heat.
  4. 4
    Once done, fold it in half, and then half again, so as to form a triangle. If you can, flip it over to brown the other side. And it really doesn't matter if the omelette looks imperfect or breaks - the taste is all in there trust me. Remove from heat.
  5. 5
    Cut the buns in half. Butter them (generously?) and put face down on the same pan you cooked the egg. Lightly toast each half, and then remove from heat.
  6. 6
    Add a teaspoon of cilantro chutney on one half, followed by the omelette, and close with the other half. Cut into half and enjoy hot with a cup of steaming masala chai!
