An omellette is a simple dish prepared by frying the whisked eggs with spices. It is eaten worldwide as a breakfast dish with bread. But in Kerala, we make omelet as a side dish for lunch and is a normal lunch box item too. I know, everyone knows how to make an omellette, but this is for those newbies who just stared cooking.

What is an omellette?

An omellette is a kind of fried egg, which is prepared without scrambling or stirring. Some vegetables and spices can also be added while whisking. It is eaten worldwide and is considered as a rich protein provider.

In Kerala, as we already discussed, from my childhood, an omellette is considered as a permanent lunch box item. Because of the easiness in its preparation, our busy working moms regularly pack it in our lunch boxes. You know, I was an omellette hater that time. Today also I am not at all fond of this dish and I make rarely only. 

Making a Kerala omellette is very simple. Break the eggs, add in finely chopped green chili, onion and salt, whisk and then fry in oil/butter. So simple right. Yes, we can make an omellette in just five minutes.

Omellette - Expert's tips

1. Don't be generous while you put salt in an omellette. The eggs needs only a very small amount of salt otherwise, the salt will overwhelm all the other tastes.
2. Keep the flame high while frying the eggs. Once the egg starts to cook reduce the flame to medium and continue cooking on the medium flame itself.
3. Green chilies, red chilies, vegetables, shallots anything you can use while making an omelet.
