Ingredients

  • **¼ tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • 1 good pinch of salt
  • 1 spring onion**, white and green parts, thinly sliced
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 medium green chilli, finely chopped (seeds removed if you don’t want too much heat)
  • **10g (about 2¾ tbsp) roughly chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil**

Instructions

  1. Put a medium (22cm-diameter or so) frying pan (or tava, if you have one) on a medium-high heat, add the cumin and fry until aromatic.
  2. Tip into a mortar and roughly crush.
  3. Beat the eggs in a jug until frothy, then whisk in the cumin, turmeric and salt
  4. … followed by all the other ingredients bar the oil.
  5. Put the oil in the same pan over a medium heat and, once hot, give the eggs a final whisk and pour into the pan, swirling to coat the base.
  6. Cook until just set on top and beginning to turn golden underneath, loosening the sides as they begin to dry out.
  7. Carefully flip the omelette as you would a pancake, or turn over with a spatula, then cook until the other side is lightly golden, too.
  8. Slide on to a plate and eat, preferably with bread and sauces.
