French Toast, Move Over: Try This Desi Kulcha Omelette

Omelette, the staple breakfast dish cooked flat, stuffed or folded, is everyone’s favourite. So much so that every now and then you will find someone sprucing it up to reinvent a dish. A case in point is the Kulcha Omelette. The famous Punjabi bread that is traditionally eaten with chola is teamed with egg instead to present a delicious treat at Mithilesh Andeywala , a small food joint in Tilak Nagar. Kulchas are made from flour dough rolled into a flat, round-shaped bread, and baked in an earthen clay oven until golden brown.

 The owner of the food cart, Mithilesh, who has been in the food business since 25 years mentions that he allows the butter to sizzle before the beaten eggs hit the pan so that the omlette is crisp on the outside but soft inside. He then places the kulcha on it and cooks it till it’s golden. “I came up with this idea about 4-5 years ago and since then it has been a hit among the localites of the area,” shares Mithilesh. It is cut into slices and then served with lip-smacking chutney to add to the flavour.The omlette is perfectly made too, soft and custard like, golden yellow on top and delicate and creamy in the centre, oozing with butter. It is served with a sweet and tangy sauce.Where: Shop D-3, Fateh Nagar, Jail Road, Tilak Nagar, Delhi
