Method

For the tomato omlette

Combine all the ingredients with approx. ¾ cup of water in a deep bowl and mix well to make a batter of pouring consistency.
Divide the batter into 4 equal portions and keep aside.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it lightly with oil.
Pour a ladleful of the batter on the tava (griddle) and spread in a circular motion to make a 125 mm. (5”) diameter circle.
Cook on a medium flame, using a little oil, till golden brown spots appear on both the sides.
Cut the tomato omlette into the size of a bread slice and keep aside.
Repeat steps 3 and 6 to make remaining.

For the paneer

Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and grease it with oil. Once hot place 4 paneer slices on it and cook it till it gets evenly charred and crisp.
Turn over the paneer slices, sprinkle little salt and pepper evenly over the paneer slices and cook it on the other side till it gets evenly charred or crisp.
Repeat step 1 and 2 to make 2 more batches of paneer.
