Figure about an egg per person, or maybe a bit less, and adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
Ingredients
3/4cup red onions, diced
6eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1/2tspcoriander powder (Or more per your taste! We like a bit more.)
dash of chili powder
1-2 tbsp salted butter
Instructions
Dice red onions, and break them up into individual bits with your finger, so as not to be clumped when added to the egg mixture.
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, and before beating them, add the salt & coriander powder (helps incorporate them).
Beat the eggs, salt and coriander with a fork.
When well combined, add the diced onions and stir.
When ready to cook, heat a nonstick pan to medium heat. When hot, rub the chunk of butter across the pan, and then quickly spread a very little amount of egg mixture on the pan. To give you a sense, 2 tbsp might make a circle(ish) of about 5 inch diameter. (I will remember to take photos next time!! When will I have an assistant? ).
Let the egg cook for about a minute and then peek under using a spatula. When the top appears mostly cooked thru, and the bottom is browned, flip the egg, cooking for just a few seconds longer (10 max), and then it’s done.
Notes
We've certainly eaten the "Indian Omelets" as leftovers the next day (and I even used to put them in the kiddos lunch), but they are definitely better fresh off the pan.
You can prep the egg mixture (steps 1-4) ahead of time and keep in fridge until ready to cook.
The original recipe I was given called for chopped fresh cilantro and diced green chilis, but we've adapted this to our tastes. Kiddos aren't so big on the chilis and we don't always have cilantro in the house because we use it infrequently enough that it usually goes bad and i hate wasting. I've got to say I really like this version and I don't miss the cilantro or chilis, but if you want to try it the "original" way, let us know how it goes.
I now do big batches of these across a double burner, but it's probably easiest to start on a 10 or 12 inch pan and make 2 or 3 until you are comfortable with timing.
Keep them warm in a covered baking dish in a 200 degree toaster oven, or just have your diners at the table ready to eat while you cook (let's face it, that's the more realistic version).
