Veggie Omelette - Eggless/Vegetarian

Veggie Omelette a very healthy and tasty alternative to the traditional omelette for those who follow vegetarian diet or do not like eggs. This can be served as a good breakfast option and goes very well with bread. Bread or Pav Omelette is a very famous and favorite combination across India and across the Globe as well.
