Recipe Notes

1. It is optional to fold and cut the omelette as shown but highly recommended to try this folding, since this tastes much better than the common style cut, flipped and fried omelettes.
2. Any kind of cheese like shredded mozzarella, cottage cheese or paneer can be sprinkled before folding the omelette. Then fold and cook making it cheese stuffed omelette.
3. Any veggies of your choice like diced carrots, chopped spinach can also be added as per your taste.
