Bread Omelette Street Style – A Classic Indian Street Style Recipe

Bread omelette street style recipe / how to make Indian street style bread omelette/ Indian street style bread omelette step by step recipes / Indian street style bread omelette recipe video

 

Street Style Bread Omlette

A typical street style version of Bread omelette, in which the eggs are mixed with some distinctive street masalas, chopped onions, green chillies, coriander and the bread is placed on the half cooked omelette, after that cooked from both sides and finally served with green chutney.

It’s a very simple bread omelette recipe and can be made in a jiffy. However you can add tomatoes, green onions, bell peppers as per your choice and taste. I like to keep it simple.

Care has to be taken while flipping the omelette. Place the spatula under the omelette in such a way that both the slices are on the spatula.

Also the bread I used was quite big in size and my pan small, so I had to cut it into half. You can use two full slices if you have a bigger pan and medium sized slices.
