Tamil Nadu breakfast — Tamil Nadu bread omelette — egg between two slices with spiced filling.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Make egg omelette batter: Beat 2-3 eggs with 1 finely chopped onion, 2 finely chopped green chillies, half tsp red chilli powder, half tsp turmeric, fresh coriander and salt.
  2. Cook the omelette: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a flat pan. Pour the egg mixture and spread into a thin flat round. Cook on medium heat 2-3 minutes until just set on top. Do not flip yet.
  3. Prepare bread: Take 2-3 slices of white bread. Trim crusts if desired.
  4. Place bread on omelette: While the omelette is still slightly wet on top place the bread slices directly on the omelette.
  5. Press bread: Press the bread gently into the egg with a spatula.
  6. Flip: Once the egg sets and adheres to the bread, flip the whole thing. The omelette is now on top.
  7. Cook bread side: Drizzle a few drops more oil around the edges. Cook the bread side 2-3 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
  8. Cut: Remove and cut into triangles or squares.
  9. Add sauces: Spread tomato ketchup or green chutney on top if desired.
  10. Serve: Tamil style bread omelette should have a spiced egg on one side and toasted bread on the other. Serve hot as a street food breakfast.
