Add the omelette ingredients into a large bowl and whisk until there are no visible strands of egg.
1 to 2 eggs, 1 to 2 green chilli, 1 tablespoon red onion, 1 tablespoon finely diced red bell pepper, 1 tablespoon Fresh coriander leaves, salt and pepper to taste
Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and spread it into a thin layer.
Scatter the cheese over the omelette while the eggs are still raw.
feta cheese
Place the chapathi over this omelette and press down. The cheese and raw egg will adhere to the bread. Cover and cook so the omelette cooks and the bread warms up.
1 chapathi
Open and spread some ghee over the chapathi and then flip it.
Let it get roasted for a few seconds and then fold the chapathi to encase the omelette inside. Flip a few times until crispy.
Transfer to the cutting board, slice into two halves and serve hot.

Notes
Use day-old or leftover chapati if you have it — it holds up better than fresh, which can go a little soggy under the egg.Keep the pan on low at the start. A too-hot pan sets the egg before the chapati has a chance to bond with it properly.No feta on hand? Grated cheddar or crumbled paneer both work fine.Leftover omelette mixture keeps a day in the fridge — just give it a quick whisk before using.
