How to make Sri Lankan omelette curry.

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

Ingredients

The ingredients mentioned below use standard measuring cups and spoons.

To Make the omelette

2 green chilies chopped

2 medium-sized onions chopped(not sliced but chopped into a smaller size)

1 medium-sized tomato chopped

1/2 teaspoon red chilli flecks(add more if necessary)

1/4 cup coconut milk(can be substituted with fresh milk)

Salt to season

5 eggs

3-4 tablespoons of oil

To make the omelette gravy.

4 tablespoons of oil

1 medium-sized onion chopped

A sprig of curry leaves

1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste(1″piece of garlic minced, 3 cloves of garlic minced)

1 tablespoon of curry powder

1/4 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon chilli powder

1/2 cup of thick coconut milk(increase to 1 if you prefer more gravy)

Method

Have all the ingredients you need to make the omelet ready.

Add the chopped green chilies(2 chopped), chopped onions(2 medium), tomato(1 medium), chilli flecks(1/2 tsp, add more if necessary), coconut milk(1/4 cup), salt to season.

In a smaller bowl crack 5 eggs and whisk lightly.

Add the eggs into the bowl with the omelette ingredients.

Whisk the eggs with all the ingredients until combined and set aside.

How to make the omelet.

Place a frying pan over medium heat and pour in the oil(4 tbsp).

Heat oil for a few seconds, and add just enough of the omelette(omelet) mixture to fill and spread around the pan.

Spread the omelette mixture around the pan, cover with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes or until the top layer of the omelette is firm.

Stage 1

The top of the omelette is not firm yet.

Stage 2.

The top is almost cooked and when you shake the pan, the omelette mixture does not spread.

Once the bottom of the omelet is cooked and the top side is firm, flip it over and cook the other side. 

If you are worried about the omelette breaking while you flip it around, don’t. 

These can easily replace the need to cut them to the required size which would be the next step in the recipe instruction.

Repeat the above step with any remaining omelet mixture.

Once you’ve made the omelette transfer it to a plate and slice them into fairly large pieces.

How to make the omelette curry gravy.

Place a large pan that will hold the omelette pieces without crowding over medium heat and pour in the oil(4 tbsp).

Add curry leaves(a sprig of 4-5 leaves, substitute with a bay leaf), ginger-garlic paste(1 tbsp, this is 1″ ginger piece and 3 cloves of garlic minced), onions(1 medium onion sliced).

Cook over medium heat until the onions turn slightly golden.

Add turmeric(1/4 tsp), curry powder(1 tbsp curry powder, any regular curry powder would do, I tend to change the curry powder sometimes with Jaffna curry powder just to change things a bit).

Finally, add chili powder(1/2 tsp increase as per your need)and cook for a further 3 minutes.

Once the spices are cooked, pour in the coconut milk.

Season with salt and slow simmer over low heat for 3-5 minutes or until the gravy turns slightly darker and thick with the spices.

Once the gravy is made, gently drop the omelette slices into the curry gravy without crowding them.

Slow simmer for another 5 minutes until gravy slightly thickens. avoid using a spoon to move the omelette

Instead, shake the pan around to submerge the omelet in the gravy.

Serve the warm omelette curry with toasted bread or a bowl of rice.
