Masala Omelette
Masala Omelette is North Indian home cooking, eaten at breakfast. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.

- 1 onion
- 1 tomato
- 2 green chilies
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp neutral oil
How to cook it
- Beat the eggs with the turmeric, cumin, and salt.
- Stir in the onion, tomato, green chilies, and cilantro.
- Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in a quarter of the mixture, spread it out, and cook until the underside is set, about 2 minutes; fold and cook 1 minute more.
- Repeat to make four omelettes and serve hot.

Dinejot tracks ten allergens and tags every one of them by hand, so the absences below are as deliberate as the presences. Masala Omelette carries eggs. It is free of the remaining 9 allergens on that list.

These tags are set by a person rather than inferred from an ingredient list, and they describe the recipe as written here. Read the labels on whatever you actually buy.
