Method
Wash the green chillies, curry leaves and coriander leaves, then drain them. Peel and finely chop the onion, and finely chop the green chillies and coriander leaves. Pluck the curry leaves from the stem. Pat the curry leaves dry so they do not splutter in hot oil.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl with the salt, turmeric powder, black pepper powder and coriander leaves for 1 minute until evenly mixed.
Heat the oil in a wide kadai on medium flame for 1 minute until hot. Add the curry leaves, onion and green chilli, then fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion is soft and lightly golden.
Pour in the egg mixture and spread it evenly. Cover and cook on low flame for 5 minutes until the edges are set and the top is almost firm.
Cut the omelette into four portions and turn each portion. Cook on low flame for 2 minutes until the egg is fully cooked and no wet egg remains in the centre. Serve hot.
