Masala omelettes are fast and easy to make if you’re in a hurry for a quick breakfast but have 10 minutes and don’t want to eat crap. You can make either 1 thick omelette or 3 thin ones with this recipe. Serve rolled up in paratha. Greek yogurt, lemon juice, or mint chutney are all great accompaniments to the omelette.
