Instructions

Prepare the Spinach
Start by thoroughly washing the spinach leaves and chopping them into small pieces. Place the chopped spinach in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 1 minute. The goal is not to cook it fully, but just to soften it slightly and remove the rawness without making it soggy. -
-
Prepare the Eggs
Break the eggs one by one into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to beat them well until they become light and fluffy, which helps create a soft, airy texture in the omelette. -
Add Spices and Vegetables
To the beaten eggs, add the turmeric powder and red chilli powder. Whisk again to combine these spices evenly into the eggs. Next, stir in the chopped spring onion greens and the microwaved spinach, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the mixture. -
Add Milk and Salt
Pour in the milk and add the salt, whisking the mixture lightly until everything is well incorporated. The milk adds a touch of creaminess and helps achieve a tender omelette. -
Cook the Omelette
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, spreading it evenly across the surface of the pan. Once the oil is hot, pour the egg mixture into the pan. Swirl the pan gently to ensure the mixture spreads evenly across the surface. -
Cook the Omelette on One Side
Allow the omelette to cook covered with a lid for about 7-10 minutes. During this time, the eggs will firm up, and the spinach and spring onions will cook through. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning. -
Flip the Omelette
After 7-10 minutes, the bottom of the omelette should be golden and firm. Carefully flip the omelette using a spatula, and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, until fully cooked through and firm. -
Finishing Touches
Once both sides of the omelette are golden and firm, remove the pan from heat and let the omelette rest in the pan for about a minute. This allows it to settle and maintain its shape. -
Serve
Slide the spinach omelette onto a plate and serve immediately with toasted bread. For a wholesome, nutritious breakfast, pair it with a refreshing Chickoo Banana Date Smoothie.
