Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 60 g Crab Meat
  • 20 g Shallots or Red Onion thinly sliced
  • 1 Green Chilli chopped
  • 5-6 Curry Leaves
  • ¼ tsp Pepper
  • tsp Turmeric Powder
  • ¼ tsp Kashmiri Chilli Powder
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • Salt to taste
  • Cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots (or red onion) and green chilli, seasoning with a pinch of salt. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in turmeric powder and red chilli powder, continuing to cook until the shallots are soft and beginning to brown. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Mix in the crab meat and the cooled shallot mixture.
  • Heat a bit of oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, pour in the egg mixture, spreading it evenly across the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom is browned.
  • Carefully flip the omelet and cook for an additional 15-20 seconds or until fully set.
  • Slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Garnish with additional crab meat and chopped cilantro.
