Sweet Omelet
This traditional Parsi-style sweet omelet transforms simple eggs into a rich, dessert-like treat with the aromatic warmth of nutmeg and a luscious apricot jam filling. Unlike a savory breakfast omelet, this dish is fried in ghee until golden and slightly crisp, then rolled around a sweet fruit preserve for a delightful contrast of textures. Served hot with a dusting of powdered sugar, it makes for an indulgent breakfast or a comforting tea-time snack.
Ingredients
- 6 whole Eggs
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (Originally 'Mill's No. 1 wheat flour'. Quantity estimated as 1 tola (approx 1 tbsp) based on context.)
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (Use a heaping tablespoon.)
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Originally '1 flat spoon'. Reduced for modern taste as the original amount would be very salty for a sweet dish.)
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (Originally '1 flat spoon'.)
- 1/2 cup Ghee (For frying. Originally '1/4 seer' (approx 115g). Use as needed for the pan.)
- 3 tablespoons Apricot jam (Or any thick fruit preserve without syrup.)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (For dusting.)
