Omellete in the making
The first
proper food item I made using the cooking gas, apart from tea and Maggi
of course, was an egg omelette. Cutting the onion is easy peasy. The main part
comes to putting masala and salt for taste. Then breaking the egg and mixing
the yolk in the ingredients. Putting oil in the pan followed by the egg batter.
Frying the omelette on both sides and its ready to serve. But an omelette is not
so easily made in first go, at least not by me. Sharing my experience of failing
at each step. Cutting the onion in medium pieces and taking optimal quantity is
important, if the pieces are large and quantity is more then you may end up
with a scrambled egg instead of a omelette. Because while flipping it will break. Putting the correct amount of masala and salt comes from
experience. You get to judge it after tasting, what has to be more and what has
to be less. Breaking the egg is an art. Using a spoon to break and holding the
egg above the bowl is anytime better. Otherwise the egg may spill over the
kitchen slab and an extra effort would go into cleaning it. Mix the yolk thoroughly, otherwise if the transparent liquid and yellow yolk are separate
then omelette would be having white portions. The oil should be moderately hot,
then pour the batter into it. Flipping the omelette is also a task. Many end up
scrambling the stuff while flipping. Whatever step goes wrong, I always had to
eat the omelette. And let me tell you, when you cook anything and however wrong
it has gone, you will eat it since you know the efforts gone in the making and
it will never taste bad to your tongue.
