When I first heard of this dish with a name that I couldn’t almost pronounce I said to myself,” here goes one of those recipes whose ingredients you aren’t aware they exist.”Turns out I was wrong, terribly wrong because not only are the ingredients readily available its also surprisingly easy to cook.So for those who live alone and find cooking such a big task, this is honestly one of the best ways to upgrade your egg cooking skills

12.Let the other side of the omelette cook also cook for another 5 minutes.To easily do this,place a plate on top of the pan and use it to flip the omelette. Switch off the source of heat after the 5 minutes are done.You can serve it hot or cold.
