A different way of spicing up those eggs is making that spicy masala omelette.
With a combination of ground spices, chillies and eggs, your perfect omelette just works with a cold glass of juice or a hot chocolate or coffee.
This dish whose origin is from Persia dates back to 1600.
There are actually four types of omelette; American style, French style, Soufflé and Frittata.
With a Frittata, this Italian dish involves additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses or vegetables. The word Frittata translates to “Fried”.
A Soufflé is fluffy and soft, with a melted cheese center.
The American omelette is slightly thicker with heavy fillings while the French omelette is thinner and slightly undercooked.
