Omelet vs Frittata

Today I’m making a Keto masala omelet frittata. Is that even possible? What’s the difference? Aren’t they the same thing? Well not quite. They are similar but a Frittata is more like a crustless quiche (I’ve made a Keto crustless quiche before). A Frittata is an Italian dish and well an omelet is well, an omelet. So today I’m taking the humble masala omelet. Which is an Indian omelet made with onion, coriander, spices and green chillies (which I’m skipping) and turning it into a Frittata.

This Frittata is the ultimate meal prep dish. You can make it and cut it up and eat a piece everyday for breakfast. The best part is you can customize it to suit your tastes and use up things in your pantry.

Odds & Ends

The sausage – Mutton in India is goat meat. For some reason I feel like it’s the most representative meat of the country. Since I had some mutton sausages lying around it seemed like the perfect fit for this dish. They are fully cooked and not raw. I realize that most people might not find mutton sausages where they live so you can use anything that’s convenient. You don’t even have to buy sausage you can just cook some ground meat and add it. I will mention that while you can add raw meat into the eggs and it will cook there is a chance that the frittata will suffer because of all the liquid that the raw meat will release. And your dish will be a soggy mess.

The heat – There are two kinds of heat. The first being temperature. Normally a frittata is cooked at 170C approx so that the eggs don’t get any colour on them. If you’ve ever eaten a masala omelet in India, you know the egg needs colour. Hence I cooked mine at 200C instead. The other kind of heat is the spice. Normally green chillies go into this dish. I skipped them. However if you have a better spice tolerance than mine then feel free to add them.

The vegetarians – Please don’t add the meat. Make this without the meat and it will be just fine. If you want to add in some vegetables to make it exciting then make sure you cook them on a frying pan first. Some veggies I’d recommend are mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, french beans etc.

This recipe makes 8 servings. Get this recipe on myfitnesspal. The macros do not include the mutton sausage because I doubt everyone will have access to the same brand. So just add the meat you use separately in your food log. I’ve also used a generic cheddar for the macros instead of the standard Indian cheese since once again it might not be available to all. However it’s about 100 calories less and 10g fat and protein less if you are using say Britannia block cheese or Amul block cheese.
