Recipe Notes

It can be easy to undercook since you can't see inside the omelette. If you cut into it and it's still liquidy and tastes floury, put it back in the pan for a few more minutes to firm up.

 

Optional add-ins: Black salt, sliced and fried green pepper, sliced zucchini, chopped tomato, etc., kala namak
