The Method

4 steps
  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the onion, chilli, coriander, turmeric, cumin, tomato, and salt. Don't beat — fold so the mix-ins distribute.

  2. 2

    Heat the ghee in a 22cm non-stick pan over medium-low. Pour in the eggs and tilt to spread.

  3. 3

    Cook 90 seconds without touching, until the underside is set and the top is just-cooked. For a thicker omelette, fold in half. For a flatter "fry", flip whole and cook 30 seconds more.

  4. 4

    Slide onto a plate. Eat with hot buttered toast or rolled inside a warm roti.
