Make-over to the leftover rice - 'Rice-Tomato Omlette'

Rice-Tomato Omlette

We ladies normally have the ingrained habit of giving the leftover food a make-over. This is one such make-over of leftover rice, which reminiscing me of my granny. 

My granny (amma, we used to call her) once happened to visit her friend on Monday, which was her weekly fasting day and this dish was accidentally served to her. Amma, who herself was an excellent cook, couldn’t figure out that the dish had cooked rice in it.  Upon asking for the recipe, she realized that her fast was broken as there was rice & onions added in it. 

Nevertheless, though her fast was broken, she loved this omelette so much that this new recipe sought a place in our regular menu. So, she passed on this recipe to my mother and now on to me. I have added my innovation to the recipe. I am very glad to share this to all of my readers. 

I am sure once you try this, it will be a part of your regular diet.

Once golden brown on both side its done and ready to serve. Serve this hot, taste better with butter, tomato ketchup/ chutney.
