Tips & Variations

• Use ghee for a richer flavor and higher smoke point.

• Add diced bell peppers or mushrooms for extra veggies.
• If you prefer less spice, reduce the chili powder or omit it entirely.

Storage

Store leftover omelette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave to avoid rubbery texture. For best taste, enjoy fresh.
