Directions

  1. Cut and prepare the vegetables – spinach, pepper, onion, chili – and have the spices on hand – curry powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix these ingredients in a bowl to ensure the spices and seasonings stick to the vegetables.

  2. Crack 2 eggs into the vegetable mixture and whisk well.

  3. Heat the oil in a small pan on low heat and swirl to coat.

  4. Pour the egg-veggie mixture into the pan and use a spatula to spread the vegetables evenly.

  5. Cook on low heat to achieve a beautiful golden and thick omelet. Once the surface of the egg begins to dry, flip the omelet.

  6. Once flipped, continue to cook for a couple of minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a roti (flatbread), roll, and enjoy!

Tips

Prepare the vegetables beforehand to save time.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
