Recipe for Goan Ros Omelette made with Mushroom Xacuti Gravy. Recipe with step by step pictures and video.
Ros Omelette is a classic Goan breakfast dish. Ros / Ras means gravy. Omelettes are served with leftover gravy from dinner (usually chicken xacuti gravy) and Pav. This is a very popular street food in Goa. Instead of the chicken xacuti (pronounced as shakuti / chacuti), I made a mushroom xacuti. Xacuti is a Goan style spiced coconut curry. This is a coconut based curry. I have used coconut oil for making this recipe.

Here is how to make Ros Omelette Recipe
Xacuti Masala Paste
Dry roast all the spices along with poppy seeds on a low flame until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
In the same pan, add in a teaspoon of coconut oil. Add in the ginger, garlic, onions and the tamarind. Sauté till the onions are soft and starting to brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool along with the spices.
In the same pan, dry roast the coconut until its light golden. Set aside to cool along with the other roasted ingredients.
Add up to half a cup of water and grind all the roasted ingredients together to a smooth paste. Set aside.
Marinating the Mushrooms
Grind the coriander leaves and green chillies with little water. Add it to the diced mushrooms. Add in the lime juice and marinate the mushrooms for 20 minutes.
Note: You can use the same marination with chicken instead of mushrooms. Make sure the chicken is cut in small pieces and use bone in chicken for more flavour. The rest of the recipe and method remains the same.
Making the gravy
Heat oil in a pan and add in the curry leaves and onions. Sauté until the onions are soft.
Add in the finely chopped tomatoes, salt, turmeric powder and red chilli powder. Sauté for a few seconds. Cover and cook until the tomatoes are mushy.
Add in the marinated mushrooms, xacuti masala paste and 2 cups of water. Mix well.
Cover the pan. Simmer the gravy for 20 minutes.
Add in the sugar and coconut milk. Simmer the gravy for a couple of minutes. Finish with a generous sprinkling of coriander leaves.
Making the Omelettes (this recipe makes 3 small Omelettes)
These are classic masala Omelettes. Beat four eggs along with salt, finely chopped onions, finely chopped green chillies and finely chopped coriander leaves.
Heat a pan (preferably non stick) and add in half a teaspoon of oil. Ladle a scoop of egg mixture onto the pan. Cook for a few seconds until the sides are set.
Gently flip the Omelettes and cook the other side for a few seconds. Do not cook for long else the Omelette will become very hard. Remove the Omelette from the pan and repeat with the remaining egg mixture. Set aside.
Toasting the pav
Heat about a teaspoon of unsalted butter in a griddle. Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chilli powder and coriander leaves. Add in the pav / bread and toast well on both sides. Add more butter if necessary. Repeat with the remaining bread.
Assembling the Ros Omelette
Take a bowl and add in the gravy. Top it with Omelette and cover the Omelette with gravy. Sprinkle onions and coriander leaves. Add a lime / lemon wedge and serve with pav.
