Omelette is one of the most traditional meals – simple and known all around the world. It is believed it originates from the ancient Persia. It is said that Napoleon Bonaparte fell in love with it at the first bite when he tried it in some French village. In China, Thaiwan and Philippines omelette is prepared with oysters and in Iran they make it with Spinach.
Another interesting variation is the Indian one – masala omelette. We tried it first time in Mumbai as it was one of the rare familiar names we could recognize on the menu. It tasted like a well-known omelette but with all the incredible spices and aromas typical for Indian food.
We love thid mix of known and unknown in a single plate and we keep making it for very special breakfasts when we want to recal some of our adventures from India.
