Green chilli : Green chilli is added for the heat and spice. You can also omit or add extra based on your spice tolerance.

Spices : I have added turmeric powder, chilli powder, pepper powder for the extra spice. 

Salt : Salt is used to balance the overall taste and enhance the flavour. 

Oil : Oil is used to cook the omelette and ensures omelette doesn’t stick to the pan. You can even make the omelette using butter or olive oil. 

Hacks

Use a perfect pan : It is essential to use a non-stick pan or tawa for making omelette as it prevents the eggs from sticking. It also helps to flip the eggs easily. If you use a large pan, then the omelette will become too thin. So, use a small pan for thick and fluffy omelette. 

Beating eggs : Beat the eggs using a whisk or electric beater until it is fluffy. While beating add a tablespoon of milk or cream of tartar for fluffiness.
