Vegetable Egg Omlette | Healthy omelette for kids

Is your kids fussy eating vegetable but more fond of eggs?? Here is a simple technique where you can make an omelet using finely chopped vegetables and feed your kids a healthy vegetable platter along with protein and fat. I usually prepare whenever I prepare veggie dosa varieties.


Ingredients :

Egg - 2
Finely chopped vegetables (carrot,beans, cabbage) - 1 cup
Onions - 1
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp


Method :

1. Finely chop the vegetables as shown in picture.

2. Heat oil in a pan, fry the onions first followed by adding all veggies.

3. Fry about 2-3 minutes and add the red chilli powder, Turmeric powder, coriander powder, Jeera powder and salt

4. Cover and cook in medium flame until soft. Put off the flame.

5. On the other side break an egg and spread as an omelet on a hot tawa.

6. Add a scoop of cooked veggies on top of it and spread evenly

7. Sprinkle pepper and salt. Flip the other side and let it cook in low flame

8. Transfer to a plate and serve.







Note :

• Adding vegetables varies according your preferences. But these three veggies takes even time to get cooked.
• You can also beat the egg and mix these veggies for making an omelet.
• I prefer this method mainly to avoid the smell of egg in the vessel while beating the egg :-)
• Cook in low flame

Saute Eggs

I always prefer making omelet using eggs than in boiled form. The main reason is of its smell. But whenever it comes as a non veg party or have a friends get together prepared omelets become hard and so choice would be boiled eggs. This recipe of simply frying or sauteing the eggs with just turmeric powder and cumin seeds removes odor and gives a colorful appearance when served on plate. Also kids love to eat when they find something different..:)

Ingredients:

Eggs - 2

Jeera/cumin seeds -1/4 tsp

Turmeric powder -Less than 1/4 tsp

Salt - just to sprinkle

Oil -1 tsp

 

Method:

 1. Boil the eggs and make slit around the sides as shown.

 2. Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, turmeric powder, eggs and saute well in low flame. Keep tossing until all the sides are roasted evenly.

 3. When fried completely, sprinkle some salt and transfer to a plate.

Fried eggs

 

My Note:

• You can also add some salt when boiling the egg too. 
• I do not add to avoid too much salt consumption.
• You can also deep fry the eggs by adding just turmeric powder in oil.

Feeding Egg Yolk for Infants | How to introduce eggs for babies

Please read the instructions under Baby foods for more information on feeding Non-veg for infants.

The recipe posted here is received from the advice as per my pediatrician. This method I started for my son from his 9th Month onwards. As you all know egg white is rich in"Protein" and Yellow or Yolk is rich in "Fat".  The infants below 1 year needs only the fat and not the Proteins as they easily tend to get allergic for Protein. But at this stage they require adequate amount of Fat for the better development of brain, as the brain constitutes major of fatty compounds. After 1 year or when they asre capable of chewing properly,cook eggs in the form of burji and feed. 

Here I do have a step by step procedure to know how to introduce egg yolk for Infants.

Ingredients :

Egg -1

Oil - 3-4 drops

Method:

 1. Spread the little oil around the center of the tawa.

 2. Break and put the eggs slowly such that the yolk part remains full. Reduce the flame to simmer and let it cook.

 3. Wait until you get bubbles over the white part,meaning that the yolk to ready to be removed.

4. Now use a spoon and slowly mark around the yolk and take out slowly.

 5. Transfer this egg yolk to the cooked and smashed rice.

6. Smash well the rice and egg yolk together with a spoon and is now ready to feed the baby.
