Noodles Omelette

Saturday, February 12, 2011

Now this really isn't a recipe...but it's a fun breakfast my mum used to make when I was little, and I started making it myself recently. Both Saugar and I love it and now I think I make it at least every other weekend. It's hard to mess up, it's comforting and I always have everything I need for it.

1 packet maggi (I always use masala but I'm sure any of them would work, or any instant noodles for that matter)
3 eggs
2 tbsp grated cheese (freshly grated tastes a lot nicer than pre-grated, but either is fine...or no cheese at all is fine too!)

Cook the maggi as you would usually. Just make sure it's not saucy and it's almost totally dry. 
Beat the eggs well with a pinch of salt till well mixed and fluffy.
Add the noodles into the egg

Heat a small pan with a tiny bit of oil. Once hot, pour the egg mixture it. Let it cook for a couple of minutes, then add the grated cheese. Turn the heat to a medium and let it almost completely set. It takes a good 8-10 minutes. Flip the omelette. Let it cook for a couple of more minutes
Add a little salt and pepper and that's it :)

It's the perfect weekend breakfast for the two of us :)

Lamb Kofta with Pita

I made this a couple of weeks ago in the weekend...And Saugar ate the leftovers 2 days in a row. Now I have never seen that happen before so I assume it turned out pretty good. The whole thing was super easy so definitely a keeper

For the kofta:

Ingredients:
1 pound ground lamb
1 finely chopped onion
2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1 egg (beaten)
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp chilli powder (or more depending on taste)
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional I'm sure)
3-4 tbsp breadcrumbs
salt to taste

Mixed all the above ingredients together, and form the koftas. Preheat the oven to 350F and bake for 20-25 minutes. (I think mine were done somewhere in the middle but I guess it depends on your oven)

For the sauce:

1/2 cup greek yoghurt
1 tsp garlic paste
1/2 tsp mint flakes (i'm sure it would be even better with fresh mint)
1/2 cucumber finely chopped
Salt

Mix all of the above together

Toast the Pita pockets lightly in a toaster oven or the tawa. Stuff it with the koftas (I chopped each kofta in half an used 1.5 koftas per pita pocket and the yoghurt sauce.

Hope you enjoy it :)
