Cheese Omelette - a little bit spicy

This was a slightly spicy take on a Cheese Omelette.  I heated some oil and butter in the pan – adding asafoetida, turmeric and cumin and let it fry off gently for a while.

I whisked up the eggs plus a spoonful of water and added pepper (but no salt).

After pouring the eggs into the spice mix, wait until the top is just about to set and sprinkle grated cheese on top (I used parmesan).

Turn it out onto a plate and garnish with spring onion tops (the green part of scallions).

Simple cooking tip - getting roast chicken golden

All you wonderful cooks out there, don't read this!  For those of us still learning, here is another simple cooking tip. 

To get a nice golden colour on a roasted chicken, rub turmeric and oil onto its skin before cooking.  Turmeric doesn’t have much of a flvour but it is great for adding vibrant colour to dishes.  Use plastic gloves unless you want yellow fingers.

And as a pleasant add on, turmeric is supposed to be great for your health in all sorts of ways.
