100 days of food – Day 7

Posted on January 12, 2014 by Sonali

Today was a zombie day! After the late night, or should I say early morning, all of us were tired. But the body clock woke us up by 730. I had my hot cup of tea and recovered enough to cook breakfast which was indian omelette with toast.

Now various people have their own version of this but below is the recipe of how I cook it. You can add chopped tomatoes or other vegetables if you like.

Indian Omelette

Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup vegetable oil
  • 1 Small brown onion
  • 1/4 Piece Minced Ginger
  • 1 green chilli, deseeded, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Garam masala
  • 4 eggs

Directions

  1. In a bowl, add onion, chilli and ginger with eggs. Whisk all together. Season with salt and garam masala.
  2. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in frying pan over high heat until hot. Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in the egg mixture tilting pan so egg covers base. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until egg almost set and underside golden. Slide omelette onto plate. Serve with toast.

Here is my breakfast picture!

We are lounge shopping! Our front living room is in need of furniture, so we went to Campbelltown to look for a lounge and a coffee table. I think we are close but between choosing the design, colour and measurements, it is not easy! We had lunch on our way at Oporto. Now, I wasn’t hungry, so I only had a few potato poppers but the boys had chicken bites and burger. We came back late afternoon, tired and cranky and ready to hit the bed for a big nanna nap. Loved it!

I wanted to cook something spicy for dinner and abandoned my initial idea of a mushroom pulao. Instead I made my own creation Mushroom Capsicum Paneer Masala. It turned out to be delicious. We had it with makki methi roti. Check out the recipe and pic below.
