What you'll need

  • 1tbsp natural yoghurt, raita, or double cream
  • ½ onion, sliced
  • 1tsp medium curry powder
  • A good squeeze of chilli sauce (optional)
  • 1tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1tsp nigella seeds
  • 1 medium cooked potato (leftover boiled or roasted potatoes are fine), cubed
  • 2 large eggs, whisked

How to make

  1. Heat most of the oil in a pan. Fry the onion for 10 minutes until starting to caramelise, then add the potato and fry for a further 8 minutes until the edges are beginning to crisp.
  2. Add the curry powder, most of the nigella seeds, some seasoning and a splash of water. Cook for 2 minutes, then scoop the mixture onto a plate. Wipe out the pan with kitchen paper.
  3. Increase the heat and add the remaining oil to the pan. Add the eggs and some seasoning, then use a spatula to stir a few times. Leave to cool for 30 seconds.
  4. Pile the potato filling into one side of the omelette while the top is still a little soft. Fold the omelette over to cover the filling and cook for a final 1 to 2 minutes, if you like your omelette set all the way through.
