“I have always been very fond of omelettes. They’ve been my go-to comfort food since forever. I particularly like the Thai Ladle Bread Omelette for its distinct flavours, albeit, in a humble presentation. I love its spicy quotient, with Maca Root being the spotlight of the dish. It is a good recipe for everyone to try out, especially during the monsoon season.”
