Spicy Indian Omelette

Eggs are a very good source of the highest quality protein. It is a rich source of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron, and copper. In fact, it is second only to mother’s milk for human nutrition.

In a funny way, eggs are the one which unites vegetarians with non-vegetarians. There is a big controversy out there about vegetarians eating eggs. No offence, but here are some funny thoughts when I hear someone saying that he/she is an eggetarian.

Now, besides the nutritional and funny facts, eggs are the easiest thing on earth to cook. It only takes less effort and time. Not to mention the low-risk factor, which is crucial for amateur and aspiring cooks.

Despite its easiness to handle and great taste, it takes years of practice to make a restaurant-grade omelette and it’s the best starting ingredient for a worthy cooking career. This is why every chef begins their career with perfecting the perfectly delicious omelette. To make this more interesting I’ve decided to inject my own idea by making the curry with an omelette.
