HOW DO I KEEP THIS KETO/LOW CARB?

You can eat this masala omelet by itself. To add fat, grate some cheddar cheese on top.

Instead of dinner rolls, use low-carb bread rolls to make the sandwich.

NOTES:

Spice Levels –

I have used a mild chili powder called Kashmiri chili. You will find it in all Indian grocery stores. It has low heat but gives a nice color to any curry you add it to. You can also use another mild variety like ancho chili powder, sweet paprika. The real heat comes from chopped green chilies. Add more if you love spicy or omit them completely for milder palates. 

What do I serve with Masala Omelet?

This omelet also pairs well with roti or paratha which makes a popular breakfast in so many Indian-run cafes scattered all over the Middle East by the name “and-parota” Anda is egg, parota is layered flaky flatbread. You can also use wraps instead of bread.

For a low-carb version, use your favorite low-carb bread or just add cheese and have the omelet by itself.

 The bread used in this recipe is the soft dinner rolls commonly available in Australia and everywhere. In India, these are called ‘pav’

If for some reason, the egg is stuck to your pan, it means the heat was too high. Just take it off the heat and scramble the mixture to make some delicious ‘bhurji’ – Indian Masala Scrambled Eggs. Serve it on toast or in a  flatbread or a wrap or even a dinner roll to make an egg po-boy!
