Vegetable Omelette with Sprouted Grains and Ladies Finger

This Vegetable Omelette recipe again is borrowed from Sither, the naturopathy pioneer from Thanjavur, Tamilnadu. This recipe is made with sprouted lentils, ladies finger (okra) and veggies. He calls this as a veg omelette. Its more like a sprouted adai if you may call it. The ladies finger (okra) paste gives the texture to the omelette. Its super healthy and makes for a very filling breakfast. Do give it a try.

Sprouting Grains
Soak the moong dal, urad dal and fenugreek seeds in water over nite. Drain the water and allow it to sprout for a day. To know more about how to sprout grains, read here.

For the batter
Take a mixie jar and grind the sprouted lentils and roughly chopped ladies finger. Add about half a cup of water to grind. Do not add too much water. After grinding, the mixture will be slimy. That’s fine. Remove the mixture to a bowl and set aside.

Add in the finely shredded veggies (use veggies of your choice), green chillies, freshly ground black pepper and salt. Mix well. If the batter is very thick, thin it out with little water. The consistency of batter should be slightly thicker than idli batter.

Heat a dosa griddle until hot on medium flame. Ladle half a cup of batter and spread it on the pan. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of oil.

Flip the omelette once after a minute. Cook the omelette for about a minute on each side, until golden.
Note: Do not make the omelettes big. It will be difficult to flip and may tear. Keep the size of the omelettes small. Also cook well until the omelette is well cooked and golden on both sides. The middle of the omelette, if poked with a fork should be dry and not raw!

Serve hot with peanut chutney.
