Tofu Tomato Omelette (Savoury Tofu Tomato Pancake)
#risenshine
Tomato Omelette is a Maharashtrian dish. Chickpea flour and tomatoes are the main ingredients used in this dish. A pancake is made out of it called as Polaa in Marathi language, which resembles an omelette, and hence the name. A few other ingredients added to it, makes it totally delectable.
In this recipe, I have added some coloured bell peppers which are beneficial to our health and their inclusion had no effect on the original taste of the omelette. Again as Tofu is a high protein food, I have added it to this dish to increase it’s health quotient. Paneer too can be substituted here instead of tofu if desired. I have used homemade ghee to roast the omelette as it imparts a delicious flavour to the dish and is good for our health. By choice though, oil can be substituted instead!
Proteins give our body the much needed energy and keep us feeling full for long. Chickpea flour and tofu are two such ingredients, which are high in proteins. Apart from this they have certain other benefits too and hence including them in our breakfast provides our body with lots of nutrition.
