Thanks for your post.
I do a bit of variation to this omelette by adding a pinch of Jeera and if you want the omelette to be fluffy, you can add in a pinch of bicarbonate soda/baking powder.

Hi Aarthy,
I added ginger garlic paste, little bit of garam masala with the above recipe and beat the mix strongly with a normal spoon(can use a whisker also) for the eggs to fluff.
