(This is my entry for #MasterChefIndia2 contest)
I have been blogging for almost two and half years but I have never written on food. This is my very first attempt. It took a memorable Indiblogger meet last month to inspire me to do so. MasterChef judges and chefs Ajay Chopra, Kunal Kapoor and Vikas Khanna deserve special mention for influencing me for it. And when Indiblogger announced the MasterChefIndia2 contest, I thought the time is right to take the plunge.
Surprisingly, the most unique dish I have ever had is at my home. My mom made it. It is called Rice Omelette. I know you must be thinking – How the hell can anyone make an omelette from rice? But let me tell you, it tastes super good!
To know what Rice Omelette is and how it is made, let’s take a look at its recipe: –
Ingredients: A bowl of cooked rice, half a bowl of buttermilk (chhaas), 1 big spoon chana dal flour (chane ka atta), 4 big spoons of wheat flour, green chillies, turmeric powder coriander leaves and salt.
Procedure: Mix rice, buttermilk, wheat flour and chana dal flour in a vessel. Add green chilies, turmeric powder and salt to it.
Heat a frying pan. Sprinkle a small spoon of oil on it. Pour some amount of the dough on the pan and make a circle out of it. As soon as the dough is well cooked, scoop it and turn it upside down very carefully so that the other side of the dough can be cooked. Soon, the other side will be cooked and your omelette will be ready. Lift it carefully from the pan and land it on a plate.
Tastes Best With: Tomato Ketchup and Green Chutney
Serves: 5-6
Rice Omelette is unusual no doubt but, I say again, it tastes wonderful. It suits well for breakfast since it is fulfilling.
Interesting idea! Though you can have an egg-less omelette only in India!
Yes, it happens only in India 😀
