Indian Railway Omelette Sandwich

4 large eggs1 tablespoon whole milk1/2 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped2 green chiles, seeded and finely chopped2 sprigs fresh cilantro, finely chopped1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric1/4 teaspoon chile powder (you can substitute with chile flakes)1/4 teaspoon black pepper1 pinch salt, to taste1 splash vegetable oil (or ghee) for frying4 slices of white breadMix together the eggs and milk in a bowl.Add the chopped vegetables and all the spices to the bowl and stir to combine.Heat the oil/ghee over medium-high heat in a frying pan.When the oil/ghee is hot, turn the heat down and add half the omelette mixture to the pan, swirling it around so that it completely covers the surface of the pan.Cook the omelette for two minutes, until the underside is lightly browned. Flip the omelette and cook the other side for another two minutes, until browned. Take off and set aside.Now repeat the previous two steps with the other 1/2 of the omelette mixture to make the second omelette.Serve the omelets sandwiched with white bread or pav—ideally toasted in the grease of the pan. However, if you like your toast more evenly browned and crisped, toast in a toaster. It will be just as delicious, we promise.
