Directions
1.
Prepare the Ingredients
Finely chop the onion, green chilli, curry leaves, ginger, garlic and tomato. If using spinach, wash and roughly chop it.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well using a fork or whisk.
Season with salt while beating so the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the masala omelette recipe.

2.
Heat the Pan

Sauté briefly until softened but avoid allowing the ingredients to become heavily browned.

3.
Add the Tomato and eggs
Add the finely chopped tomato.
Cook until some of its moisture evaporates so the omelette does not become watery.
Add the optional spinach at this stage and cook briefly until just wilted.
Pour the beaten eggs over the cooked vegetables.
Gently stir through the centre as the eggs begin to set.

4.
Cook Evenly
Using a spatula, gently pull the cooked edges towards the centre and allow the uncooked egg to flow into the empty spaces.
Continue until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly soft inside.
Move the pan so the handle faces away from you.
Slide a spatula underneath one side of the omelette and carefully fold it towards the centre.
Fold the opposite side over to create the classic folded shape.
