Dimer Omelette Curry

Yet another Egg recipe on the blog. But its a lip smacking dish that goes great with steamed rice. The "Egg  Omelette Curry" is a part of the Curry Series and as the name suggests, the unique part of this curry is, instead of a boiled egg, it uses an  Omelette. The curry series is aimed to include recipes which we can enjoy any day,any time. These are easier to prepare, require lesser time and contains stuff which you can have on a normal office day.

Preparation(10 mins): Making the Omelette
Ingredients: 

• Egg - 2
• Onion - 1 medium sliced. 50 gms.Diced.
• Green Chilly - 1.Sliced into small pieces.
• Tomato - 1/4th.Finely sliced.
• Milk - 25 ml.
• Salt - To taste.
• Vegetable Oil - 1 tbsp.

Procedure:

• Beat the eggs, milk, onion,green chilly,tomato,salt together with a touch of tumeric powder.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a flat,heavy bottomed  pan.
• Add the mixture to the oil and lightly fry it on One side only. This should leave the egg ingredients on the other side to be little raw . This provides a great flavour to the  Omelette and I prefer to keep the  Omelette that way.
• once fried, make the  Omelette into a "Roll"and keep aside.

Cooking(30 mins):
Ingredients:

• Onion: 1 large onion-70-80 gms.1/4th of the onion will be diced.The rest 3/4th will be made into a fine paste.
• Ginger:One 1/2 inch slice.Crushed.
• Garlic: A couple of cloves.Crushed.
• Tomato: Use the left over 3/4th tomato from the one required for the  Omelette.Make it into a fine paste.
• Green Chilli:3-4.Slit.
• Potato:1. Sliced longitudinally.
• Vegetable Oil:2 tbsp.

Powdered Spices:

• Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp.
• Coriander Powder: 1 tsp.
• Cumin Powder: 1/2 tsp.
• Red Chilli Powder: 1 tsp.

Whole Spices:

• Dry red chilli - 1
• Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp.
• Bay leaf - 1 

Procedure:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a wok/pan.Add the whole spices in it and wait till the aroma evolves.
• Then add the crushed ginger,crushed garlic and the diced onion pieces.
• Once the onion turns brown, add the onion paste and tomato paste.
• In the same mixture add the powdered spices - all at the same time.
• Increase the heat to high and cook until the moisture is gone and oil separates from the mixture.This should require around 8-12 mins.
• Reduce the heat to low and then add a little amount(50 ml) of warm water to the mixture and add the potato slices and the slit green chillies. 
• Stir for sometime(2-3 mins.)
• Check for the salt content and add more if required. 
• Then add the  Omelette .Add more warm water to the mixture. Please note that the amount of water added determines the amount of soup in the curry. Since the  Omelette curry will be consumed with steamed rice,so add water proportionately.
• Cover the pan/wok by a lid and let it cook for a further 7-10 mins. 
• Garnish with coriander leaves/green chillies.

Serve hot with steamed rice.
