Roe Omelette/ Parinjil Appam

Yet another speciality dish of Kerala- Roe Omelette or fish egg omelette. We get fish eggs only in the month of June and July in Kerala and I remember mom used to buy loads of it and it will be two months of celebration- she will make all possible recipes with the fish roe. Here, the Roe is of a big fish (I dont know which one, coz I didnt buy the fish. The fishmonger was selling just the fish eggs...o yes, it was like striking a lottery!!!!!)

Fish Roe: 1/2 kg

Onion: 1 medium diced

Green Chillies: 3 chopped

Ginger: 1 inch chopped fine

Curry leaves: a sprig

Salt and Pepper: as required.

Oil: 1 tbsp

Mash the Roe and mix it with all the other ingredients except oil. Water will ooze out from the Roe.
Heat a pan and smear oil.
Pour a ladle of the roe mix onto the pan like how we make omelette.

Let it cook and then turn it once.
When cooked, serve warm.
