How to make Soufflé Omelet

Try a different twist on your regular omelet. Granted, it might take you more time, but it’s fun to do and watch and the taste is something you’ll have to try for yourself.

Here is what you will need

2 eggs

½ teaspoon sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

2 dabs of butter

The ingredients are few and something you will find at home any day of the week. You can see why this is a good idea. It will take somewhere around 30 – 40 minutes inclusive of preparation time, unless of course you have an electric hand mixer, then it would save you the trouble and take you only around 15 minutes.

Instructions.

Take two separate bowls
Crack open your eggs and separate the yolks and the whites. Put the whites in one bowl and the yolks in the other
Take the bowl with the whites and drop in the ½ teaspoon of sugar.
Grab your whisk and start whisking good. Whisk until the egg whites seem creamy and form stiff peaks
Take your bowl of yolks and put in salt and pepper to your liking
Mix in your egg whites with the seasoned yolks. Make sure to fold the whites in and not to over mix. We want the mixture to be airy.
Set your stove on low heat and oil your pan
Pour in your mixture and cover with lid. Make sure the heat is low; we do not want to burn the omelet.
Check after about 3-4 minutes. The omelet will have fluffed up. Take a spatula and see if the omelet has started to set under. Slide in a dab of butter under the omelet.
Do the same on the opposite side. So that is two dabs of butter on either sides of the omelet. This will give the omelet more flavor.
Check a minute or two after you put in the butter
Grab a plate and fold the omelet over only on the plate
Garnish with chopped up coriander

The recipe is simple and worth trying. Go ahead and make a soufflé omelet.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

The Oldest Kumari

Dhana Kumari Bajracharya resides amidst the hustle and bustle in Gabahal, Patan. She is a 70 year old woman, who you would think is much younger at age, if you look at her. Age seems to have done justice to this beautiful woman. What makes this wise old woman different than other wise old women in Patan? She is the oldest Kumari of Patan. Kumari, the living goddess is a tradition or a practice that has been around for many years and that has been celebrated widely in the Kathmandu Valley. The very first Kumari goes back to 17 th Century. The process to choose the Kumari is divine and a girl must go through several tests to get chosen as the Kumari. Dhana Kumari Bajracharya is the longest serving Kumari of Patan having been established as the Kumari from 2010 B.S to 2042 B.S. A whooping 32 years. Perhaps her case is the most rare that we might come across. A girl serves as a Kumari until she reaches puberty, or she has her first menstruation. After that, it is believed that th...

Baklava in Kathmandu

Baklavas are considered the Mount Everest of pastry making and what better delight than to know that they are, now, available here in the country that Mount Everest is situated? TazaTreats, newly initiated by Taza brings to you this delicacy. A fine treat with walnuts or pistachios in layers coated with sugar, Baklavas are an explosion of flavor in your mouth. A dessert from the Middle East, first brought in from the Turkish or Greek heritage, Baklavas are a new thing in Nepal. But you’d be more than happy to know that the taste is something that would fit well with the Nepali palate. Baklavas are slowly gaining attention around the valley. I see that more and more people have been trying them out. And they come in these beautiful handcrafted boxes, making the experience even more worthwhile. When we first got a box, after clicking enough pictures, of course, I had to inky pinky my way to choose which Baklava I should go for first. They’re just right for sharing or surprisi...
