Paratha Omelette

The crispy, flaky paratha paired with a spiced omelette and melted mozzarella cheese is too good to pass up!
Servings: 1 person

Ingredients

For the omelette (serves 1)

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tomato deseeded and finely chopped
  • 3 stems fresh coriander finely chopped
  • 1/2 green chilli finely chopped
  • 1/4 onion finely chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 30 g mozzarella cheese

For cooking

  • 1 frozen paratha
  • Oil or ghee for frying the omelette

Instructions

  • In a bowl, crack in the eggs and add the chopped tomato, coriander, green chilli and onion.
  • Season with salt, black pepper and turmeric, then whisk well until fully combined. Set aside.
  • Heat a frying pan over a medium low heat and add the frozen paratha.
  • Cook from frozen for around 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure it cooks evenly.
  • Remove the paratha from the pan and set aside.
  • Add a little oil or ghee to the same pan and allow it to heat over a medium heat.
  • Pour in the omelette mixture. Using a spatula, gently push the edges inward so the omelette does not spread to the corners of the pan.
  • Allow the omelette to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Gently lift the edge to check it has turned lightly golden underneath.
  • Place the cooked paratha directly on top of the omelette, pressing gently so it sticks.
  • Carefully flip the entire omelette and paratha together.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over one half, then fold the omelette and paratha in half.
  • Cook for a further minute until the cheese has melted.
  • Remove from the pan and serve immediately.
