    The only omelettes we make are Indian style, because we are originally from India. The difference from your recipe is that we combine all the ingredients together and then pour into the skillet. I love adding all the ingredients you’ve listed as well as mushrooms.

    I live near one of the biggest mosques 🕌 in the country. The Mosque Foundation is near and I have a lot of Indian restaurants and stores near. I have had a couple of meals there. I think Indian food is an acquired taste. Even though I love spicy food, it doesn’t like me!! I do love breakfast and omelettes, so I am willing to try this omelette, so I pinned this. Thank you for sharing!

    It really interesting that they love this in Mombai. You never know what will be popular in any given place. It reminds me of a Southwestern omelet with a little twist.
