Is it omelet or omelette
Tomatoes can easily be added to our daily diet because they can be eaten raw as well. They are rich in vitamins, plus they are so versatile to cook with. Tomato soup and Tomato rice are some of my favorite dishes to make with tomatoes.

Top recipe tips ðŸ’
This omelet is thicker than the regular egg omelet. Use fresh tomatoes to make a puree if you don’t want to use a store bought one. To make it Jain, skip adding onions. Breadcrumbs can aslo be added to the batter. The toppings can also be mixed into the batter. Feel free to add whatever veggies (bell pepper, cabbage, mushrooms, carrots or spinach) you have at hand. You can also skip adding any veggies altogether. He would market his dish as a meal for vegetarians and since it had the word ‘omelet’ in it, I was happy to eat it. However, over the years, we started consuming eggs occasionally, and that too because of him. He felt that we needed to include that in our diet and he would make it for us while my mom would not even enter the kitchen when it was being made. She even made him use a different pan and spatula for cooking the eggs! 🙂 Lol! Flour - I like to mix a couple of flours together to make this eggless omelet. Besan or chickpea flour, rice flour or all-purpose flour, and semolina or rava (coarse or fine)are what I have used. Rice flour and semolina give this vegan omelette a crispy texture. Spices - ajwain or carom seeds and cumin seeds help with digestion. Turmeric powder, chilly powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and green chillies add color and spice to these vegan pancakes. Veggies and herbs - Normally I add chopped onions, bell peppers, and cilantro. But sometimes I add some finely chopped spinach and cabbage to the omelet batter. Baking soda is also added to the batter to make it light and fluffy. You can skip adding it if you want. To make it a bit indulgent, also add some shredded vegan cheese. Kids will love this twist. Cook it in Thecha Butter, vegan butter, vegan ghee, olive oil, or any vegetable oil.
It’s especially convenient when kids come home hungry from school or you are too busy in the mornings to cook up an elaborate meal or even pack it in lunch boxes. A very versatile dish that’s dairy and gluten-free. In India, these are served in a club sandwich which makes it even more delicious. It’s served this way at restaurants and as street food and I have enjoyed this club sandwich many times over the years. You must give this recipe a try when you visit Bombay next time.Â
What to serve it with
A bowl of fresh fruits on the side is a good combo. You can also stuff the tomato omelet with some sauteed veggies, mushrooms, or tofu/paneer. Mashed Sweet potatoes or Mashed potatoes can also be used as stuffing. Salads like Cucumber salad or Tomato Croutons salad can also be served with it. Cucumber Lemonade, Rose Lemonade, Kiwi Detox Smoothie, or Watermelon Juice are some drinks that will go well with this vegan tomato omelet.
