How to Make Garlicky Mushroom Masala Omelet

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until light and frothy.
  2. Pour the egg mixture into a glass measuring cup for easy pouring.
  3. **Prepare the filling:** Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium-sized frying pan over high heat.
  4. Add the mustard seeds and cook until they begin to pop. Immediately add the minced garlic.
  5. Stir once or twice. Once the garlic starts to brown, add the sliced mushrooms and stir until they lose their raw look.
  6. Reduce heat to medium. Add the scallions, green chilies, cilantro, and ginger. Stir until the green seasonings have wilted (about 1 minute).
  7. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, then remove from heat.
  8. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a 7-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat.
  9. Pour half of the beaten egg mixture into the hot pan.
  10. Using a wooden spoon or the back of a fork, gently stir the eggs for 3-4 seconds until they are just set but still slightly wet.
  11. Quickly spoon half of the mushroom filling down the center of the omelet.
  12. Carefully fold the omelet in half.
  13. Cook for a few seconds more, then gently flip onto a warm plate.
  14. Repeat steps 8-13 with the remaining egg mixture and filling to make a second omelet.
  15. Serve the Garlicky Mushroom Masala Omelets immediately.
