Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Oven safe frying pan

Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 eggs (2 per person)
  • 100 ml milk
  • 2 portions leftover curry dishes mixed
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the eggs and milk with the salt and pepper.
  • Chop up any large pieces of meat or vegetables in the curry.
  • Add the curry dishes to the eggs and stir in.
  • Heat a pan to a medium heat and add a dash of butter.
  • Pour in the curry mix into the pan.
  • Move it around gently in the pan until it starts to firm up.
  • Heat up the grill (For our American friends it's the Broiler) to a medium hot heat and pop the omelette under to cook the top for approximately 5-8 minutes until the omelette goes golden brown.
  • Serve straight away with mango chutney, fresh onion salad or have it on it's own. Always delicious.

Notes

  • If there are large pieces of meat for examples chicken, lamb or beef. It is best to cut them up so they heat up all the way through.
  • The estimated nutrition estimate assumes 2 450g portions of chicken tikka masala with pilau rice are used. The actual nutrition values will of course vary wildly depending on which curry/takeaway ingredients you choose to add.
