Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 6 shallots
  • 1 tablespoon bird’s eye chilies (adjust to taste)
  • Seasoning powder, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Cooking oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Begin by finely grinding the garlic, bird’s eye chilies, salt, and seasoning powder together until well blended. You can use a mortar and pestle or a food processor for this step to ensure a smooth paste.

  2. Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the ground spice mixture. Stir to combine thoroughly, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.

  3. Slice the shallots into large pieces, cutting each shallot into quarters. Gently fold the shallots into the egg mixture, making sure they are well mixed.

  4. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly.

  5. Cook the omelet until the edges are golden brown and the center is fully set, flipping carefully if needed to ensure even cooking on both sides.

  6. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Indonesian spicy onion omelet!

Happy cooking and enjoy your delicious creation! 😊
