Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup (sliced) Button mushrooms
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 medium (finely chopped) Onion
- 1 small (finely chopped) Green chili (optional)
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika or red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (freshly ground) Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or butter
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with milk, salt, black pepper, turmeric powder, and ground cumin. Set aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until it turns translucent.
5. Stir in the green chili (if using) and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and are slightly browned.
6. Add paprika or red chili powder and mix well. Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a plate.
7. Wipe down the skillet and heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat.
8. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
9. Spoon half of the mushroom mixture onto one side of the omelet. Carefully fold the other side over to enclose the filling. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the omelet is fully set.
10. Slide the omelet onto a plate and repeat with the remaining egg and mushroom mixture to make the second omelet.
11. Serve warm, garnished with additional cilantro if desired, and enjoy your Garlicky Mushroom Masala Omelet!
