This is my favorite, super delicious egg omelette curry! Before discovering this recipe, I used to make curry with boiled eggs. Similar to that, I tried making it with an egg pouch / omelette instead of boiled eggs, and it turned out super delicious. I love eating this with chapati, but it's also so good with rice too! You should definitely try this—you will love it. It is a simple and delicious egg omelette simmered in a spicy onion-tomato gravy.

1. Beat the eggs in a bowl until fluffy. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook to make an omelette (or poached egg fold). Set aside.
2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in another pan and add the cumin seeds. Let them sizzle until fragrant.
3. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
4. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until the raw smell disappears.
5. Add the tomato, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes break down and turn soft.
6. Pour in the water and bring the gravy to a rolling boil.
7. Place the whole omelette into the curry (or cut into large pieces if preferred) and simmer on low heat for 5–7 minutes so it absorbs all the flavors.
8. Serve hot with steamed rice, chapati, or roti!

💡 Tips & Tricks

• Flavor Absorption: Simmering the omelette in the simmering gravy lets it soak up the masaledar flavors, making it juicy and soft.
• Omelette Variations: Feel free to add chopped green chilies, onions, or coriander into the beaten eggs before frying the omelette for an extra kick!
• Gravy Thickness: Adjust the water quantity depending on whether you want a thick curry for chapatis or a liquid gravy for rice.
