I happened to stumble on this recipe I found in a book in the Dubai Library. Abresham Kabob aka Silk Kabab is a delicacy originated in Afghanistan, where eggs strands are fried in oil and pulled using a stick and shaped like a kabab, which is then poured with sugar syrup or dusted with powdered sugar and finished off with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios which is mixed with a small amount pf cardamom powder. I felt that the recipe had similarity with our muttamaala (egg garlands), where the egg strands are cooked in sugar syrup and as for the silk kabab the egg strands are fried in oil.

In this version, I have used powdered sugar to dust the kabab for the sweetness. Alternatively, sugar syrup can be used for adding sweetness to the dish. I prefer the sugar syrup, but I happened to film the one with  powdered sugar. Some people like it with powdered sugar, so it is all about one's preference.

I love how easy this dish is to prepare, and not to mention how fun too! Usually different methods are used for achieving thin strands of the egg mixture, like a new steel scrubber, etc, here I have used my clean hands, the traditional way.

Ps: The recipe says that you can store in an air tight container for a couple of days, but pour the sugar syrup only before consuming it.

I preferred the sugar syrup version than the powdered sugar.

Mornings and breakfasts are inseparable. To have an easy and healthy is ideal but busy mornings can mean gobbling down junk food.

Not anymore. This Omlette, though the name states omelette, Afghani Omlette is more like bullseye or sunny side up eggs on a bed of chopped veggies.

What is stunning about this dish is that it is simply uncomplicated, and to believe that something so easy can turn out this delicious is just stunning! When the cubed potatoes crisp and brown the juices from the tomato caramelize to form this umami flavor that is unbelievably good. This dish requires no spices and is prepared with basic ingredients you can find at home. 

The first time I came across this omelette, I felt what was so great in this dish that made it unique. Well, the addition of potatoes made it interesting, so I definitely had to give it a try and oh boy was it good. The original version that has just salt and pepper has its intense flavor bomb in itself, though I wanted to try using Garam masala and Chilli powder. I'd recommend trying the dish with just salt and pepper for a first timer. 

This is a great recipe for busy mothers especially, kids will love it. Can be had as it is with a spoon or you may dip and eat using any sort of bread.
