INDIAN OMELET
I don't know why it is, but I am not a fan of American-style omelets. I love eggs scrambled, coddled, poached, soft and hard boiled . . . but there's something about that thick carpet of egg in omelets that just doesn't sit right with me! Perhaps it's because this is the first omelet I ever had- thin (but not as thin as a crepe-like French omelet) and packed with fresh flavors. It's the kind of thing I whip up at almost any hour of the day (it's really great after you've been out and had one drink too many!). To this day, Mum will make this as a light lunch when she doesn't feel like cooking anything too strenuous. The potato chips are my American touch to this Indian standby.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy. (If you are not in a hurry, you can go the extra mile: Separate the eggs and beat the egg yolks in one bowl, the egg whites in another, until very frothy. Gently fold the yolks into the whites. This will make a much lighter omelet!)
- Carefully stir in the onion, chile, cilantro, turmeric and paprika and add couple of generous pinches of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Heat the oil in a medium (10 to 12 inch) non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Keep a heatproof spoonula (a curved, spoonlike spatula) at the ready. When the oil starts to shimmer, pour in the egg mixture.
- Using your spoonula, stir the egg mixture in small circular motions to distribute the onions, chile and cilantro evenly around the pan. This also helps move some of the uncooked egg down to the surface of the hot pan. Sprinkle the potato chips (if using) evenly over the top.
- Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, grab a plate that's as big as your pan.
- Check your omelet. It's all right if it's not fully cooked, but it shouldn't be super-runny. If it is, cover the pan and cook for 1 minute more. Slide the omelet, cooked side down, onto the plate. Then, holding the plate from underneath, place your pan over the plate and flip the omelet back into the pan. The omelet should land with its uncooked side down. Cook, uncovered, for another minute.
- Slide the omelet onto a serving plate, cut it into 4 wedges and serve with fresh cilantro leaves on top!
- Smaarti Tip
- Don't omit the serrano chile even if you don't like spicy foods. Scrape out the seeds and use just the flesh; that slight bitterness really makes this omelet sing.

Steps:
- Place a large (about 12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the butter and allow it to melt. Meanwhile, mix the eggs, milk, a pinch of salt and pepper, plus the green chiles and pimientos, if using, in a small pitcher. Pour into the skillet. Add the bread to the eggs, quickly coating the first side of the bread in the eggs (as you would French toast), then turn it over, placing it back in the eggs.
- Allow the eggs to almost set completely, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the whole omelet over in one motion. Top each piece of bread with the cheese, if using. Fold the side edges of the omelet over the bread, then flip one piece of the bread onto the other, creating a sandwich. Allow the bottom of the sandwich to become toasted and golden, about a minute, then flip the sandwich over and cook until the other side is nice and golden, an additional minute.
- Remove from the skillet and cut in half. Serve with ketchup or spicy mustard if desired.

This is one of the best omelets you get from vendors on the streets to have between bread slices with maybe some ketchup and green chutney applied to each slice. Have a bite of our street cuisine.
