Egg Omlette Curry (Dimer Dhokar Dalna)


Egg Omlette is a very common item in our daily diet but curry of egg omlette sounds little different. Egg omlette curry is one of my favourite dish since my childhood. My mother used to make omlette with beaten egg mixed with grounded urad or masoor dal in order to make the omlette thick enough to cut into cubes and dip in curry. So Egg lovers this is yet another delicious and different egg recipe for you.

2 green chili (slitted)
2 green chili (chopped)
1 tomato (finely chopped)/tomato puree 3 tbsp
2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp red chili powder
2 bay leaves

Turn it and cook the other side until become little crisp and golden brown in color. Take it out in a plate and cut into cubes. Repeat the same process for the other half of mixture also.
