Now beat the eggs adding a bit of salt and pour 1ç of it over the sauted vegetables and allow a few minutes for the egg to thicken.

Now lift the sides of the thickened omelette and pour another 1/4 of the beaten egg and allow it to run under the vegetable mix by lifting the sides of the omelette.

Repeat this two more times till all the egg is used.

When the egg is thickened to an extent flip the omelette to the other side and cook till done.

*It may be difficult to flip so big an omelette with the spatula or spoon.

Then slide the omelette from the plate to the pan once more.
