Chicken Keema Omelette

I was brainstorming for ideas when I had some left over minced chicken filling from another recipe. I thought I could fill them in pastry sheets and fry but then the leftover is not much to make enough of those rolls or whatever I was planning. So when I had to make breakfast for an important person, this idea struck me so I came up with this omelette. But later I googled and learned some interesting recipes too. But this recipe is my own with added twist. The person who had this is a food critic and gave positive feed back. So here you go, a happy me presenting an 'egg'otic dish.
You can make the filling ahead and use for breakfast but I suggest you to fry the celery and pepper to be added just before preparing the omelette to keep the crunch.


INGREDIENTS :
Makes 2 serving

Step 1:
1 Chicken breast (4oz or 1/2lb)
1 Onion finely chopped
1 Small tomato chopped
2 Green chilies chopped
1 Tsp ginger garlic paste
1/4 Tsp turmeric powder
1/2 Tsp red chili powder
1/2 Tsp black pepper powder
1/2 Tsp fennel powder
1/4 Tsp garam masala powder
Salt to taste
2+1 Tbsp olive oil
Step 2:
1 Celery stick
1/4 Small red bell pepper
1 Tsp sriracha sauce
Step 3:
4 Large eggs
1/8 Tsp salt
1/4 Tsp black pepper powder


METHOD :
Clean and cut the chicken breast into small cubes. Pat dry extra water. Mince them in a food processor and keep aside.
Place a pan in a stove over medium heat  and pour 2 Tbsp oil. Add the onion and saute until transparent. To this add the ginger garlic paste and try until raw smell is gone. Then goes green chilies and tomato with a pinch of salt. Salt helps tomato wilt soon. Then add all the spice powders along with a pinch of salt and fry for a couple of minutes. When everything comes together add the minced chicken and fry for a minute or two and add a tablespoon of water, close the pan and let it cook. Once the chicken gets cooked, open the lid and fry completely to let any liquid dry out.
In another pan add few drops of oil and saute the celery and bell pepper along with sriracha sauce.
Do not let these veggies get completely cooked, they should be barely sauteed and have a bite to them.
Mix this to the cooked mince mix.
To make omlette:
Beat the eggs with salt and pepper until frothy. Place a pan in the stove with low medium flame and add a tsp of oil and pour half the egg. Keep moving the egg with a spatula as we do for scrambled eggs but do not break them. When egg is half done , spoon in half the minced chicken filling on one side, fold in the other half of egg. Cook until egg is well done.
Chicken keema omlette is ready and be served with any chili sauce.
