Tips, food safety & substitutions
Use a non-stick pan so the omelette cooks with very little oil. Food safety: cook the eggs until fully set. Allergens: contains egg. Substitute: use methi or sarson leaves instead of spinach, or skip the chilli for a milder omelette. This is a light, balanced meal — it is not a weight-loss treatment.
