Masala Omelette is one of the most traditional meals – simple and known all around the world. It is believed it originates from the ancient Persia. Legened said that Napoleon Bonaparte fell in love with it at the first bite when he tried it in some French village. For instance in China, Thaiwan and Philippines omelette they prepare it with oysters and in Iran they make it with Spinach. To be sincere, you don’t have to be Napoleon to be in love with a good omelette during breakfast. It’s a great way of starting the day, super healthy and pretty easy to make it.
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. Probably that’s the main secret of this masala omelette, the spices. Actually it’s probably the secrets of the whole indian cuisine.
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. It doesn’t really matter anymore for which reason we love it, we just do it as frequently as we can.
