Most mornings, my breakfast ritual is simple: a fluffy veggie omelet and a strong black coffee. There’s something grounding about that combination — the coffee wakes me up, and the omelet fuels me for the day ahead. It’s not fancy, it’s not complicated, but it’s the kind of comfort that feels like home. Over the years, I’ve perfected this little routine so much that I can make it half-asleep, yet it never fails to hit the spot.
The trick? Cook the eggs gently so they puff up into soft folds, and then sneak in an Indian twist — a pinch of red chilli powder and just a hint of turmeric. That “secret sauce” transforms an ordinary omelet into something that smells like my kitchen back in Bangalore, with just enough heat and color to brighten the plate. It’s a small touch, but one that makes this everyday dish feel like a chef’s signature.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, beaten well
- Capsicum, finely chopped
- Kale, finely chopped
- Onion, finely chopped
- Tomato, finely chopped
- Coriander, chopped
- Green chillies, chopped
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- A pinch of red chilli powder (secret twist)
- A pinch of turmeric powder (for color & depth)
Directions
- Beat the eggs until light and frothy.
- Stir in all the chopped veggies, coriander, salt, pepper, and the “secret” red chilli + turmeric mix.
- Heat a non-stick pan, pour in the mixture, and cook gently on medium-low flame.
- Flip once for even cooking, making sure the omelet stays fluffy and golden.
Serve hot, with black coffee on the side — the way I like it. ☕🍳
