Method 8 steps
Heat a pan over medium heat.
Crack the eggs in a medium sized bowl. Whisk in the onions, tomato, cabbage, coriander, salt, and pepper.
Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the hot pan, and pour in half the egg mixture. Allow it to cook for about 3 minutes.
When the top is only a little wet, place a chapati over it.
Flip the omelette and chapati over so the chapati is at the bottom. Allow the chapati to warm for 2 minutes.
Roll the omelet up with the chapati on the outside.
Wrap in foil and serve it immediately.
Repeat the steps above with the remaining egg mixture and chapati.
