#quickbf - Tamagoyaki is a Japanese style rolled omelette. So let me share a fusion style where I gave an Indian touch by adding some garam masala powder, cumin powder, red chilli powder and other ingredients. I also used few seaweed sheets, but it is purely optional. Enjoy it for breakfast with some soya sauce, tomato sauce or green chutney a la Indian style.

Tamagoyaki is typically prepared in a special rectangular pan. But in the absence of it, I had to use a regular round pan. They turned out real soft and delectable. These simple, easy and yummy omelettes are generally served for breakfast or as a side dish in a Bento lunch box. You can substitute the nori sheets with any sliced veggies, cooked soya or slices of sauteed paneer if you wish. You may also try with shredded chicken, cooked keema / meat, sliced sausages, salami for some more variations.
