Bombay Frittata Food

INDIAN-INSPIRED FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Put a 26cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan on a medium heat and, one by one, lightly toast the chapatis. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the eggs with half the mango chutney. Coarsely grate in most of the cheese, chop and add the spinach, then erratically tear in the toasted chapatis. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and mix it all together well.
• Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the frying pan, then pour in the egg mixture. Grate over the remaining cheese and sprinkle over the Bombay mix. Shake the pan over the heat for 1 minute, then transfer to the oven for 10 minutes, or until golden and set. Meanwhile, grate the onion, mix with a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar and leave to quickly pickle. Serve the frittata dolloped with yoghurt and the remaining mango chutney, sprinkled with the drained pickled red onion.

BOMBAY FRITTATA

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine the eggs, crème fraîche, onion, scallions, garlic, cilantro, garam masala, salt, pepper, turmeric and red-pepper flakes and beat with a whisk or fork until just combined.
• Heat the ghee or oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet, such as cast iron, over medium-high heat, tilting the skillet to coat it evenly.
• When the ghee bubbles, pour the eggs into the center of the skillet, shaking to distribute evenly. Cook, undisturbed, until the frittata starts to firm up on the bottom and along the sides but is still slightly jiggly on top, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the paneer and transfer the skillet to the oven. Cook until frittata is golden brown and has reached desired doneness, 15 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.

BHAJI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan and fry the onion for about 10 mins over a medium heat until golden. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook for 1-2 mins.
• Next, add the grated potatoes and cook for 5-8 mins, stirring occasionally. You want the potatoes to soften, but also catch a little and turn golden in patches. Season the eggs, then pour into the pan with the peas and most of the coriander, swirling to coat the potato mixture. Cook for 1 min more, then transfer to the oven for 10 mins until the eggs have set. Sprinkle with the remaining coriander and serve with mango chutney, natural yogurt and naan bread, if you like.
