How to prepare ‘Fluffy’ omelettes – Some secrets

(Right ingredients and proper cooking utensils help make good omelette)

The omnipresent omelette is a significant part of the day breakfast.  But, very few of us know how to get the fluffy omelette.    Sometimes, inadvertently it becomes too mushy and breaks before you can shift it to the serving dish and at others it is too flat.  Getting the omelet fluffy and melt in your mouth right is a skill that can be easily perfected with some quick practice and handy ingredients.

Ingredients:

Butter:  Use a bit of butter (1tsp) in your omlette before you start whisking it in with salt and pepper.  Beat continuously until the batter is foamy.

Cream: Fresh whipped cream (unsweetened) (1tsp) is also a good ingredient to add to the omlette before you whisk it.

Pancake batter: Pancake batter (basic pancake batter needs: a tbsp flour,2tbsp mik,1tbsp melt butter to be mixed or it could be bought from a super market) makes omelettes very fluffy.

Break eggs (usually 02 eggs make a nice fluffy omelette, but you can use more depending on how you may want to eat) into the bowl, add milk and pancake batter.  Beat with fork.

Whip the egg white separately and then fold in egg yolk in that mixture for best results.  You can add cream to the egg whites to make them fluffier and then add the yolk to the mixture.

Preparation:

Beating the egg mixture vigorously either with the fork for 1 minute or with hand blender can give a fluffy result.

Fry omelette in butter over vegetable oil if possible at medium flame.  Add the egg mixture only when the butter’s foam dies.  Leave the mixture on the pan for 15-20 seconds.  Now, add the cheese, tomato, grated onion, chilies, mushroom or any other filling.  Draw in the sides for the eggs to the centre and shake the pan to distribute the egg evenly.   The omelette is done when it is runny at the center.

Average cooking time for a good omelette is between 1.5- 2 minutes. Be sure to take out immediately off the pan once it is cooked and serve piping hot.
