- 1 teaspoon ground red chili
- 1 spring onion
- Fresh parsley (to taste)

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic. Slice the spring onion and parsley.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, chopped shallots, garlic, ground red chili, sliced spring onion, and parsley. Add salt to taste and include seasoning if desired, though it’s optional.
-
Whisk the Mixture: Beat the mixture thoroughly until it becomes frothy and well combined. The key is to ensure the eggs are well aerated to achieve a fluffy texture.

Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick frying pan on the stove over medium heat. Add a generous amount of cooking oil and allow it to heat up until it shimmers.
-
Cook the Omelette: Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. Let it cook undisturbed until the bottom starts to turn golden brown.
-
Flip the Omelette: Carefully flip the omelette using a spatula, cooking the other side until it is golden brown and the eggs are fully set.
-
Serve: Once both sides are cooked to a beautiful golden brown and the omelette is firm, remove it from the pan. Slice into wedges and serve hot.
