Sri Lankan spicy omelets are not fluffy.

Once you’ve made this spicy Sri Lankan omelet, you’ll notice it’s not fluffy like your regular French omelettes.

No this Sri Lankan version of the omelet has a crispy edge which I favor.

And the reason the spicy omelette isn’t fluffy is that instead of fresh milk I substituted it with a little bit of coconut milk.

The younger ones thought I was serving Pizza for breakfast so maybe you can use the recipe to tempt your little ones, minus the spicy ingredients.

tips for the best Sri Lankan breakfast omelet.

• Use a non-stick pan, this helps with the eggs not sticking to the pan and making it difficult to flip or fold.

• Instead of mixing all the ingredients with the egg, I first cook the onions, green chillies, tomatoes and curry leaves, spread them over the frying pan surface, and then pour in the egg mixture. try this method for a change.

• Maintain low heat throughout the cooking process of making the omelet and cover the pan with a lid once you have all the ingredients in the pan.

Sri Lankan spicy breakfast omelet.

Please make sure to read the recipe instructions carefully to avoid mistakes.

Have all the ingredients on hand before you begin with the recipe.

Crack the eggs in a bowl, add the coconut milk and whisk them together, season with pepper and set aside. 

Place the pan over low heat and warm it for a few seconds.

Pour in the oil and spread it over the frying pan.

Add the chopped onions, tomatoes, green chillies, curry leaves, turmeric, and chilli flecks.

Season the ingredients with salt while the ingredients continue to sauté.

Cook until the onions and tomatoes turn soft over low heat(3-5 minutes).

Once the ingredients are cooked,  spread them lightly over the frying pan surface with a spoon, make sure you have the onions, green chillies, and tomatoes spread evenly.

Once you’ve done the above, pour the egg mixture into the pan(give the eggs a stir before following this instruction), and make sure the egg mixture spreads evenly over the cooked ingredients that are already in the pan.

Immediately cover the frying pan with a lid,  maintain a low fire, and continue cooking the omelette.

Avoid shaking the pan or using a spoon while the omelette cooks.

If you find the bottom of the omelette too dry while it cooks, drizzle a bit of oil around the edges of the eggs, this makes it crisper as well.

Once the top layer of the omelette is cooked, add your favourite herb, I’m adding chopped coriander here.

Now gently, fold the omelette in two, you will notice that the onions have caramelized which is what you’ll want.

If you feel both sides need to be cooked further, go ahead and flip it gently and serve warm.
