    Khagina (Indian spiced omelet)

    Serves 4 to 5

    • 5 large eggs
    • 5 Tbs. chick-pea flour
    • dash of black pepper
    • ¼ tsp. ground coriander
    • crushed seeds from 4 to 5 cardamom pods
    • ½ tsp. salt
    • ½ cup minced or finely chopped onions
    • 2 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley
    • 3 to 4 Tbs. yogurt
    • 3 Tbs. butter

    1. Beat the eggs, gradually sprinkling in the chick-pea flour, then add all the remaining ingredients except the butter and beat together thoroughly.
    2. Melt the butter in a 9-inch skillet and pour the egg mixture into it. Cook over low heat, covered, until the eggs are set on top. Flip the omelet out onto a plate and slide it back into the pan on the other side. Cook it for a few minutes more, just enough to lightly brown the other side, and then turn it out on a platter.
    3. Serve the omelet in wedges as an accompaniment to a vegetable curry or with a chutney. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
