Budget Meal: Omelette Curry

Omelette curry is a comforting dish that I have grown up with. We used to make it at least once a week. This dish combines velvety omelette with aromatic, flavorful curry.

It’s a quick weeknight dinner with minimal ingredients. If you have two eggs at home, you can turn it into a delicious curry for two!

This is also a very budget friendly meal. 😊

Cooking Instructions

25 minutes
  1. 1

    Beat the eggs, add one of the chopped onion, and green chilis if using, with a pinch of salt. Heat oil in a pan and make an omelette. Keep aside.

  2. 2

    Now let’s make the sauce for the omelette curry. In a blender or food processor add the other onion, tomato and minced ginger and garlic. Blend to a smooth paste.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a pan and add this blended masala. Saute for two minutes on medium low heat.

  4. 4

    Now add the salt, turmeric powder, chili powder if using, coriander powder, and sauté the spices with the onion – tomato mixture for 2 to 3 minutes on medium till the masala starts leaving the sides of the pan and you see the oil “separating.”

  5. 5

    Now add the water and stir gently till the masala is well incorporated. Bring to a boil.

  6. 6

    Cut the omelette into pieces and add to the curry.

  7. 7

    Cover the pan, lower the heat and cook for about three to four minutes.

  8. 8

    Now open the lid add the garam masala and stir very gently, so the omelette pieces don’t break and then switch off the heat and garnish with cilantro before serving. I like to pair this curry with rice.

  9. 9

    Enjoy!
