Masala Mushroom Cheese Omelette

Whenever I have an omelette I go down the road of nostalgia where so many things that come to my mind. Back in those days omelettes had to be cooked in separate vessels and not in the kitchen. I still remember a Bud Spencer movie where he eats a 12 egg omlette. The most I've gone up to has been 3. 😀 The "bread (masala) omelette" in Kovai Express was always something we looked forward to in our trips to Madras. Fast forward few decades later cheese omelettes came into play thanks to Denny's and IHOPs. So here's a mix of few of those memories - Masala Mushroom Cheese Omelette.

Ingredients

1. Eggs - 2 (or 1 or 3 or 12 if you like) :)
2. Onions - 1 table spoon (finely minced)
3. Green chilli - 1 (minced)
4. Mushroom  - 2 tablespoon (minced)
5. Grated cheese - 2 table spoons I used a 3 cheese mix (Mozzarella, Parmesan & Cheddar)
6. Turmeric powder - 1 pinch
7. Cumin powder - 1 pinch
8. Salt - 1 pinch
9. Black pepper powder - 1/2 tea spoon

Method

1. Heat a wide sauce pan and grease it with a few drops of any vegetable oil.
2. Saute the onions, chillies and mushroom along with salt, turmeric powder and cumin powder.
3. Beat the eggs well with a pinch of salt until the yolks and white are blended well.
4. Add the sauteed onions, chillies and mushrooms to the egg and mix well.
5. Grease the sauce pan (while keeping the stove to low flame / heat)
6. Add the egg mixture and circle around the pan to have an even spread.
7. Add the grated cheese and cook with a covered lid for about a minute until the cheese melts.
8. Roll the omelette up and serve with toast (and tomato ketchup).

Enjoy!!
