Curry de omelete com ovos

Quando eu era criança, era enjoada para comer, e curry de ovo era meu prato favorito de todos os tempos! Especialmente este curry de omelete ao estilo bengali, servido com arroz branco cozido no vapor. Pequenos pedaços de omelete fofinha ficam junto com batatas cortadas em pedaços, em um molho de tomate levemente apimentado. O prato fica pronto em menos de 30 minutos, sendo uma ótima opção para o jantar durante a semana.

Modo de preparo

Finish all the prep first. Thinly slice the onion, dice the tomato into tiny bites, and slice the potato into wedges.
- 2
Finely chop the cilantro leaves. Pound the ginger and garlic.

Put all the spice powder in a bowl and pour little water to it. Mix it around to form a thick paste.
- 4
Crack the eggs in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add half of the chopped cilantro leaves. Whisk to combine everything.

To prepare the rolled omelette, place a nonstick skillet at medium heat. Drizzle a little oil and once it heats up, pour 1/3rd of the whisked egg. Swirl the pan to spread the egg and let it cook for 30 seconds or so. From one side, start rolling, but don't go all the way to the end. (watch the video to understand the technique better)

Now pour a bit more of the whisked eggs next to the partially rolled omelette. Let it cook and then roll again.

Finally, pour the rest of the whisked eggs and roll the omelette to the end.

Transfer the rolled omelette to a chopping board and slice into 6 equal portions.

Allow the mustard oil to be hot and smoky before you start cooking. Drop the potato wedges, sprinkle a little salt and turmeric. Then fry the potatoes for about 3 minutes and then take it off to a separate bowl.
