About this dish

A tomato omelette (Marathi: टॉमॅटो धिरडे) is a breakfast dish prepared mostly in Maharashtra, India. It is referred to as an omelette because of its visual appearance, but this is a misnomer, as it actually contains no egg product or by-product and is vegan. The main ingredient is chickpea flour or besan. Sometimes, it is also made with dosa batter (rice flour and urad dal paste), with a small quantity of besan only to provide binding, in which case it is classified as Uttapam. A batter of pouring consistency is made with water and chickpea flour; finely chopped green chillies, onions and tomatoes are added. The mix is poured on a hot skillet, brushed with cooking oil and cooked on both sides. Tomato omelettes are served hot with ketchup, coconut chutney, sambar or any other pickle.
