Mock time~ No Egg Tomato Omelete

Its a mock Omelete! Visually one can never tell the difference between a real egg omelete and an omelet made from gramflour (besan), but the taste is surely very different.  Though it tastes nothing like an egg omelete, it is a popular breakfast / snack item served in pure Veg restaurants as Tomato Omelete.  Very simple ingredients and makes in a jiffy~ do give it a try!

Ingredients:

1 large tomato, finely chopped

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 green chili, finely chopped

2 Tbsp Cilantro, finely chopped

1 cup Besan (gram flour)

½ tsp turmeric powder

½ tsp chili powder (optional)

A pinch of baking soda

Salt to taste

1 ½ cups water

Butter to make omelets (use ghee or oil optionally)

Grated processed cheese to garnish (optional)

Method:

1. Mix all the above ingredients, except cheese.
2. Heat a non-stick flat pan (omelet pan) and add ½ tsp butter (ghee or oil).
3. Pour one ladle of the prepared batter and spread it slightly. Bout ½ inch thick and 5 inches diameter.  Cover with a lid and let it cook on medium heat for 2 minutes.  Flip the omelet and add a little more butter if you wish, let it crisp up for 2 minutes on low flame. 
4. Fold the omelet in half, garnish with grated cheese and serve with slice bread and ketchup.
5. Enjoy hot.

Happy Cooking :)
