Spanish Tortilla with a touch of Indian spices

Spanish Tortilla or Spanish omlette is something completely different to Mexican Tortillas.  Mexican tortillas are flatbread made using flour, whereas Spanish tortillas are omlette cooked with potatoes. This simple omlette is an ideal filling breakfast on a lazy sunday morning or you can also pack these for your picnic, since they are good even when served cold.

This dosen't require any fancy pans or exotic spices, but being an Indian we never forget to add turmeric in our food, especially when it comes to omlette or meat, also to spice it up more I have also added few green chillies. Oh! yes, we also add green chillies to our omlette along with turmeric, let's have a look into the recipe to check what else I have added...
