I have seen recipes of vegetarian omelette few years back while casually surfing in net. But at that time I din't have the interest to try it. Mostly I have seen my friends bringing omelette as a side dish for lunch and I never find it much appealing. I also assumed that dish would be difficult and time consuming. Recently I got chance to see how egg omelette is prepared in one of my friend house. I felt the process quite easy so decided to try eggless version for me!! The result was quite yummy and one of my eggetarian friend said it tasted good and quite similar to original version. Lets see my version of "vegetarian omelette/ Besan Cheela" .

Preparation
1.
Chop the onion and capsicum finely. Saute it in medium flame for
few minutes and grate the cheese.
Method
1.
In mixing bowl add besan, curd, salt and mix well. Add water and
make a thin batter with flowing consistency. The batter should not be too
thin but slightly thin than dosa batter.
2.
Heat pan and add baking soda to the batter just before you make
the cheela. Pour the batter and add the sauted veggies, cheese and pepper powder.
Add oil and cook for few minutes. Gently flip and cook the other side too.
3.
Serve hot and enjoy the yummy vegan omelette!!

Notes
·
Batter consistency is very important. If its
too thick the cheelas will be uncooked and if it is too thin the cheelas will
stick to pan.
·
Be generous in adding baking soda as it is
important in getting fluffy and soft texture.
·
Cheese is completely optional. You can even
skip capsicum if its not available but onion and pepper is must.
·
I used to grind some flax seeds along with
pepper to make the dish more healthy.
·
Tastes great on rainy evenings too. But I
usually prefer it for breakfast since I find the dish very filling.

I love to have it along with bread toast too :)!!!
