Who doesn’t love butter chicken? While it’s where most people begin their Indian food journey, it’s one everyone comes back to. It’s easy to make, and in most cases even easier to order takeaway.
The next time you find yourself with a little bit leftover, but not quite enough for a proper meal, give this omelette a try!
Coriander chutney can be found at any Indian grocery store and most Asian markets.
This is all about the filling. Make the physical omelette in any style you like.
Amounts are not exact, just suggestions. These recipes are general guidelines roughly aimed towards single egg, individual portions unless otherwise mentioned. Adjust as necessary. Play around. Have fun.
Season everything to taste with salt and pepper.
