🔥 Instructions

1. Make the Omelettes:

Beat eggs with onion, green chili, tomato, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and salt.

Heat a little oil in a nonstick pan.

Pour a portion of the mixture and cook on medium flame till both sides are golden.

Repeat until you use up all the batter (you can make 2–3 thick or thin omelettes).

Cut into squares or triangles and set aside.

2. Make the Curry Base:

In a pan, heat 2 tbsp oil. Add cumin seeds and bay leaf.

Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

Add ginger-garlic paste and cook till raw smell disappears.

Add pureed tomatoes, turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, and salt.

Cook until oil separates from the masala (around 5–7 mins).

3. Add Water & Simmer:

Add 1 to 1.5 cups water (adjust consistency).

Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in garam masala, crushed kasuri methi, and cream (if using).

4. Add Omelette Pieces:

Gently slide in the omelette pieces.

Let them soak and simmer in the curry for 3–4 mins on low flame.

🍽️ Serve Hot With:

Steamed rice, jeera rice, chapati, or butter naan.

A drizzle of cream or ghee on top for that dhaba-style finish 🧈

✨ Pro Tips:

For a smoky flavor, you can slightly char the omelette on an open flame before adding.

Add a few boiled potato cubes or green peas to the curry for extra bite.

Want it richer? Use cashew paste instead of cream for a Mughlai-style curry.
