On Play Me a Recipe, your favorite cooks will walk you through their most treasured recipes, offering all the insider tips, stories, and tricks you won't get from a written recipe—and you'll be right alongside them, every step of the way. Feel free to pause, jump back, or navigate the steps via the podcast chapters.

If you're cooking along, here's the recipe we're making today. Go ahead and grab the ingredients below (Arati starts listing them at me-a-recipe.simplecast.com/episodes/indian-railway-omelet-sandwich-episode?t=0m52s">0:52) before  starting the episode.

Indian Railway Omelette Sandwich

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1/2 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 green chiles, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon chile powder (you can substitute with chile flakes)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt, to taste
  • 1 splash vegetable oil (or ghee) for frying
  • 4 slices of white bread
  1. Mix together the eggs and milk in a bowl.
  2. Add the chopped vegetables and all the spices to the bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Heat the oil/ghee over medium-high heat in a frying pan.
  4. When the oil/ghee is hot, turn the heat down and add half the omelette mixture to the pan, swirling it around so that it completely covers the surface of the pan.
  5. Cook the omelette for two minutes, until the underside is lightly browned. Flip the omelette and cook the other side for another two minutes, until browned. Take off and set aside.
  6. Now repeat the previous two steps with the other 1/2 of the omelette mixture to make the second omelette.
  7. Serve the omelets sandwiched with white bread or pav—ideally toasted in the grease of the pan. However, if you like your toast more evenly browned and crisped, toast in a toaster. It will be just as delicious, we promise.
