Paneer Omelet
This rich and savory Parsi-style omelet combines fluffy beaten eggs with grated 'Vilayati' cheese (sharp cheddar or firm paneer) and a hint of aromatic nutmeg. The eggs are whisked vigorously until airy and light, then folded with the savory cheese before being fried in traditional ghee until golden brown. It makes for a substantial breakfast or light lunch, offering a delightful texture contrast between the soft eggs and melting cheese.
