Cucumber Yogurt Salad.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves



Omelette with a slice of herb toast and yogurt salad.




My Notes:
For a healthier version, I have used 2 egg whites and a whole egg instead of 3 eggs.
The whipped egg shouldn't be left to stand for long.
I have deseeded the green chilli before fine chopping. It is a personal preference. 
The thin sliced vegetables is slightly cooked so that it is uniformly cooked with the fast cooking eggs.
This can be done by  sauteing in a pan with a few drops of olive oil added to it, or microwave for a min.
This portion of ingredients can make a good omelette for two. 
To spice up the regular egg omelette, the addition of mushrooms and carrots is a delight. It becomes a complete meal. A healthy breakfast for all ages.

 I had it with a cup of fresh yogurt salad. It is a refreshing finish on a hot summer morning.
