Who moved the egg from my Omelette?

So you are a vegie guy and you have no idea how a real Omelette tastes like. Don’t worry let us learn a vegie version of Omelette which does not need any egg. It is easy to make and you can make it in 10-15 minutes. The best part of this dish is that there are so many variations possible that you can cook it in different ways everyday.

So let us get to basic ingredients first. Get some Besan ( Gram Flour ) and Rice flour. These things are commonly available in convenient packs. Put equal quantities of rice flour and besan in a pan. Add a little bit of water and mix it well. If you have a blender use that to mix it well. It should become a smooth mixture. Add a little bit of salt and chilli powder to the mixture.

Take 1-2 onions and chop it in fine pieces. Add that to the besan and rice flour mixture. Now let us discuss creative variations for this.

Spicy Version: You can add chopped green chillies to make it spicy. Pepper powder is another nice way to add spice. Freshly crushed pepper also makes a useful addition to this.

More vegie Version: You can make things more interesting by adding cauliflower to this mixture. It needs to be broken into small pieces. You can do that by using a grater or I prefer to do it just by crushing it using hands. Capsicum is another interesting addition. You need to chop it fine though. Finely chopped coriander or spinach/palak are also good additions to this.

So now you have a smooth mixture ready which has lot of vegies and spices based on the options you have chosen. Heat a non-stick tawa and spread the mixture on it. Shallow fry it from both sides using oil. If you want to use less oil, you can also cover it with a lid on the tawa so that steam cooks the vegies nicely. Serve it hot with green chutney or tomato sauce. You can also serve it with toasts if you are serving it as breakfast.
