This was a very puffy omelette with excellent flavours. I used coriander leaves in mine and also used green chillies. I actually served this with a side salad, which is probably not very parsi but it went down well.

You can never have too many egg dish recipes & this one is very satisfying! My husband tells me this exactly like what his mother makes back in Bangladesh for breakfast. erved with paratha, extra coriander & tomatoes. Will definitely make again (^-^)
