Thanks to my close friend Sharmila Dixit for sharing this wonderful recipe. 

Ingredients : Serves 4 people

• 4 tbsp or 2 large cups of besan or bengal gram flour
• 1-2 large onions finely chopped
• 1-2 large tomatoes finely chopped
• 2 or 3 green chillies finely chopped
• 1/2 tbsp turmeric/haldi powder 
• 1 tbsp red chilli powder
• 1/2 tbsp coriander/dhania powder
• 1/2 tbsp cumin/jeera powder
• 1/2 tsp of carom/ajwain/owa seeds 
• Handful of coriander leaves/dhania finely chopped
• A few curry leaves
• Salt to taste
• Cooking oil for shallow frying

Method:

Step 1: Prepare the batter by mixing all the above ingredients in a large bowl and adding enough water to make a semi liquid pouring consistency. 

Step 2: Heat the non stick-tawa/ shallow frying pan on the gas and pour 2 tablespoons of batter and spread evenly to make an omelette. Poke a few holes in the omelette with the ladle to allow for even cooking.

Step 3: Spread a spoon of cooking oil to prevent sticking and turn the omelette until both sides are cooked. One side is turns crispy brown to indicate that it is fully cooked.

Step 4: Serve hot with tomato sauce or tomato pesto. Homemade fresh yogurt or curd acts as a healthy accompaniment.
