    Egg Omelet Curry

    Sometimes all you need is a simple recipe and this humble omelet curry comes to my rescue when I don't have much time to prepare a lengthy elaborate meal.  

    I was not aware of this dish before coming to Calcutta. While putting up as a paying guest the cook once served this for dinner. And I just lapped it up in no time.

    Not to mention, it's very easy-to-make. and requires a few basic spices. In fact, the making of the curry is almost similar to boiled egg curry. Just replace the boiled egg with pieces of omelet and you are done. However, This recipe can also be slightly customized as per each person's preference.

    This serves as a complete meal with some hot rice and simple cucumber-tomato-onion salad. It also goes well with roti or paratha.
