Prepare the Mixture:
- Begin by finely mincing the garlic and shallots. Place these into a mixing bowl along with the eggs. Whisk the mixture until well combined.
- Incorporate the grated coconut, sliced chilies, salt, and any optional flavor enhancers into the egg mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the rice flour, which has been mixed with a small amount of water to create a slurry. Stir the mixture well to combine.

Cook the Omelette:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a sufficient amount of cooking oil. Ensure the oil is evenly distributed to avoid a dry texture.
- Once the oil is hot, pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly. Cook over low heat to ensure a tender and fluffy texture.
- When the underside of the omelette is golden brown and cooked through, carefully flip it to cook the other side until it is also golden and firm.

Serve:
- Once the omelette is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a serving plate. Enjoy it hot and freshly made.
Tips:
- For a crispier texture, ensure there is enough oil in the pan.
- Adjust the amount of bird’s eye chilies based on your heat preference.
- Serve with steamed rice or as a side dish to complement your meal.
