Omelet with mushroom masala base

For this recipe, all I can say is "Don't go by the looks". Give it a try and you are definitely going to like what you taste. It was not very pretty while preparing as well, but it was gone in no time. I think the egg omelet actually make it look more prettier.  Trick is to keep toasting the omelet till it turns golden brown and slightly crispy.

Ingredients:

Button Mushrooms - 250 gms
Medium onion - 1
Garlic paste - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Slit green chillies - 2
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Salt - to taste
Chili powder - 1/2 tsp
Pepper - to taste
Garam masala - 1/4 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tsp (optional)
Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp (Optional)
Butter - for toasting the omelet
Eggs  - 4

Procedure:
  1. Heat oil in a pan. Add slit green chillies and fry for few minutes. Add garlic paste and turmeric powder and fry for few more mins. 
  2. Add in the chopped onions and fry till they become translucent.
  3. Add in sliced mushrooms and keep mixing till they become soft. 
  4. Add chili powder, salt, coriander powder, cumin powder and garma masala and mix well.
  5. Cook for 5 more mins. Remove the mixture from the heat and keep it aside. 
  6. Add salt and pepper to 4 eggs and beat well. 
  7. Heat a nonstick pan and add butter. Add about 2 tbsp of mixture from step 5 and spread it on the pan. 
  8. Pour the egg mixture from step 6 on to the above and spread gently using a spatula. You can spread it in to your desired shape. I did mine as shown in the picture. 
  9. Toast on both sides, with generous amount of butter, till it turns golden brown. Remove from heat and serve.
Enjoy with some ketchup or some salsa on the side!!!

Note: be generous with the amount of butter you use. Let the omelet crisp slightly on both sides. Can be had as both snack or with rice.
