How to make an omelet


Today I will describe you how to make an omelet, .. my way! By the way, are you out of your mind? You came to a blog named ‘Bisibele Bath’ to learn how to make an omelet?? Well, if you have ever lived as a bachelor and do not know how to make an omelet, it is a shame, unless of course you are a pure veggie. But in latter case, you would not be reading my blog! :D
So, if you still do not know, then I beg you that this is not the right place to be in. Go, ask your mom/wife/girlfriend or even dad to teach you how to make one. Once you are through, then come back and read this piece ofliterature (lit… what? really?).
Enough of disclaimers, if you are still hanging on, then so be it. First of all, you go and buy eggs and bring these to home carefully. Why carefully? Dude … you are too inquisitive! Anyway, egg is delicate stuff which breaks easily. So, what if it does... you anyway break it to make an omelet .. :D :D. Okay .. whatever, your wish.



Now, get some onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves and any other vegetable chopped, which you do not mind eating raw or partly cooked. The good thing about omelet, and many of dishes from a bachelor’s kitchen, is that there is no fixed recipe or number of ingredients. The only compulsory ingredient is egg :). So, I choose to experiment with different variations. This is called innovation (at least in corporate terminology). So, this time, I have some sprouted beans in my refrigerator. So, let’s try those and try to make Sprouts-Omelet, a dish excessively rich in Proteins (if you care, so).

I take some butter in a pan, heat it till it melts and put the sprouts for some shallow frying. This has two advantages: first, since sprouts are made by soaking the lentils in water for a couple of days, they get smelly. So this removes the smell. Second, we may not like the taste of sprouts as such. So, let’s reduce the taste by frying it. The more you fry, the tastier but unhealthier it will be.

Now, separately in a bowl, crack the eggs (if it is not already cracked, while you bring these home) and beat it until the viscous liquid turns light yellow uniformly. Now, add the chopped veggies, salt, pepper and beat till it mixes well. The more your beat it, the fluffier and softer the final dish will be. You might like to an electric beater, if you do not feel like doing it with the hand.

Put a pan on the stove to heat and put some butter in it. Wait till the butter melts. Now, carefully put all the mixture, you just now prepared, into the pan and spread it uniformly. Now, before the egg gets hard, put the fried sprouts, so that it sticks to the omelet. Now, keep the stove on medium flame and wait for sometime, till the liquid solidifies. Now, gently flip the omelet over to let it cook from the other side. Cook for another few minutes, making sure no uncooked egg is left.


You are good to go now, ready with the omelet. You might like to have it with bread-slices and ketchup. I prefer to toast it with bread like a sandwich. 

So, how is it? Yummy .. no? Good .. no? OK .. no? Awful .. yes? Holy s*#t! I told you that this is not the place to learn how to make an omelet. But, you did not listen to me. So, do not blame me now.  Now, whatever crap you just prepared, it is your baby; you decide what to do with it. But please go, learn properly to cook and then come back here.

PS: Thank you for your patience for bearing with me, while you were reading it.
