Indian Inspired Frittata Recipes

INDIAN-INSPIRED FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Put a 26cm non-stick ovenproof frying pan on a medium heat and, one by one, lightly toast the chapatis. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the eggs with half the mango chutney. Coarsely grate in most of the cheese, chop and add the spinach, then erratically tear in the toasted chapatis. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper and mix it all together well.
• Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the frying pan, then pour in the egg mixture. Grate over the remaining cheese and sprinkle over the Bombay mix. Shake the pan over the heat for 1 minute, then transfer to the oven for 10 minutes, or until golden and set. Meanwhile, grate the onion, mix with a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar and leave to quickly pickle. Serve the frittata dolloped with yoghurt and the remaining mango chutney, sprinkled with the drained pickled red onion.

BHAJI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan and fry the onion for about 10 mins over a medium heat until golden. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook for 1-2 mins.
• Next, add the grated potatoes and cook for 5-8 mins, stirring occasionally. You want the potatoes to soften, but also catch a little and turn golden in patches. Season the eggs, then pour into the pan with the peas and most of the coriander, swirling to coat the potato mixture. Cook for 1 min more, then transfer to the oven for 10 mins until the eggs have set. Sprinkle with the remaining coriander and serve with mango chutney, natural yogurt and naan bread, if you like.

BOMBAY POTATO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling water for 6 mins, or until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry. Meanwhile, put the spinach in a heatproof bowl with 1 tbsp water. Cover and microwave for 3 mins on high, or until wilted.
• Heat the rapeseed oil in a medium non-stick frying pan. Add the onion and cook over a medium heat for 10 mins until golden and sticky. Stir in the garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, mustard seeds and turmeric, and cook for 1 min more. Add the tomatoes and wilted spinach and cook for another 3 mins, then add the potatoes.
• Heat the grill to medium. Lightly beat the eggs with the chilli and most of the fresh coriander and pour over the potato mixture. Grill for 4-5 mins, or until golden and just set, with a very slight wobble in the middle.
• Leave to cool, then slice into wedges. Mix the mango chutney, yogurt and remaining fresh coriander together. Serve with the frittata wedges.
