Spicy Indian Masala Omlette

This is a quick, easy and nutritious recipe for a hearty Sunday breakfast. Our family favorite. The green chillies, onion and cilantro add an Indian touch to the traditional western omelette. I also omit green chillies when I make them for kids so that they can enjoy the Indian flavors of the recipe without the spice. I am not sure how many people remember the catchy tv commercial that used to air in our childhood - Sunday ho ya Monday, roj khaye ande :) Nostalgic memories..... 

Ingredients:

Eggs - 4, Onion - 1 chopped, Cilantro - chopped, green chillies - 2-3 chopped (as per desired level of spiciness), black pepper - 1 tsp, salt to taste, Milk - 1/4th cup.

Procedure: 

Break eggs into a bowl and whisk. Add salt and black pepper and milk and whisk till everything is mixed properly. Add onions and cilantro and chopped green chillies. Heat pan and add a few drops of oil and pour the egg mixture in it. Cover and cook for 3-4 mins on medium heat. Flip and cover and cook the other side for 2-3 mins.

Delicious Spicy Indian Masala Omelette is ready. Serve with toasted whole wheat bread and ketchup.

Till my next post, take care everyone.

Eggs Curry or Anda Curry

Hey everyone I am back with one of our favorite weekend recipe after a long hiatus.... Eggs curry with paratha or brown rice!!! 

This recipe works for everyone on a lazy Sunday at our house....... Usually I get the kids to shell the eggs thus making my task even easier!

Eggs curry is very simple to make and is nutritious too. Start by boiling about 6 eggs - you will need hard boiled eggs. A good way to shell the eggs is to dip them in cold water immediately after you remove them from hot water. That way they peel easily. Make little slits on the top and bottom and set aside.

If you prefer cut them in half, but I like them whole so that the yolk does not mix in with the curry at the very beginning.  

Now for the curry part...... Take abt 2 tbsp oil in the pan, add 1 bay leaf and cinnamon stick, add 1 finely chopped onion. after it is soft, add ginger garlic paste. Then add slit green chillies (if you like) and 2 medium chopped tomatoes. Then its time to add masalas... add 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp red chili powder or paprika, 1 tsp coriander powder and 2 tsp garam masala.

Saute everything till it gives out a nice aroma. Add 4 tbsp coconut onion masala. Saute and add some water. Season with salt (according to taste) and put some lemon juice. Slide in the eggs and boil it till the oil floats on top, somehow the floating oil makes it more appetizing :))

Enjoy with paratha or brown rice!! 

Friends, I will post recipes as and when I have time as I am busy with some personal matters......
