In a large bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly.

Cooking :

Heat the olive oil or ghee in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Flip the omelette:

To flip the Kuku Sabzi, place a large plate on the pan and flip it sharply. Add a little oil back to the pan, then slide the omelette upside down to cook the other side. Cook for another 5 to 7 minutes.
