CHENNAI STREET FOOD STYLE EGG MASALA OMELETTE

Hi,

Everyday in our home we talk so much about healthy , hygienic food but when we go out we forget about everything and get tempted by the spicy aroma and taste of hotel food :)) we convince ourself only once in a while know so nothing harm ( but we say this weekly twice :)))) .That's too the local street foods are amazing , I know very well how they make the dish and how harmful it is but still we love it for its taste.

In Chennai the local street food has some unique taste in some of their dishes such as fried rice , chats , parota salna and masala egg omelette .Everyday I make eggs in our home but still street food style omelette has some unique taste which I was unable to replicate. One day my friend Mrs. Saranya Sathish came to our home and she prepared this omelette for us,she made the omelette in the same way as like in street food. I immediately noted the recipe and from that day I make omelette in this method only.

Also when I pack egg omelette in lunch box for my husband he always reports that he gets some egg smell in afternoons but when I make omelette in this method there wont be any smell and also omelette remains fresh till noon.
