An Indian omelette

The great thing about eggs (apart from they're packed with vitamin D – which women need) is that people are just starting to realise that you can use them for main meals and they're not just a breakfast.
I have a great recipe for you today which is traditionally your typical breakfast in india but here in my family we eat it as a main meal. We love indian food in our house but we had to find ways to change it up a little using all the flavours.
That's when I tried out this Indian Omelette idea. Simple, under 400 calories and super tasty.
My bet is that you'll already have everything you need in your fridge and spice rack to make this, so just please give it a go – you WILL NOT be disappointed!!
