Cauliflower Omlette



Chicken eggs are the most commonly eaten eggs. They supply all essential amino acids for humans and provide several vitamins and minerals as significant amounts of the Daily Value, including retinol(vitamin A), riboflavin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B12, choline and phosphorus.

Cauliflower is one of several vegetables in the species Brassica oleracea, in the family Brassicaceae. It is an annual plant that reproduces by seed. Typically, only the head (the white curd) is eaten. The cauliflower head is composed of a white inflorescence meristem. Cauliflower heads resemble those in broccoli, which differs in having flower buds. Cauliflower is low in fat, low in carbohydrates and high in dietary fiber, folate, water, phytochemicals and vitamin C, possessing a high nutritional density.

Boiling reduces the levels of these compounds, with losses of 20–30% after five minutes, 40–50% after ten minutes, and 75% after thirty minutes. However, other preparation methods, such as steaming, microwaving, and stir frying, have no significant effect on the compounds.

Now I am going to show u the preparation of cauliflower omlette, the same can be prepared with mushroom also. Being a Non-vegetarian egg forms my main ingredient in kitchen.
