Ras Omelette is a delicious street food from Goa. Omelette is served in a spicy tomato gravy for a hearty protein packed treat for any time of the day.
Today I have a delicious street food recipe from Goa. It is called Ras Omelette aka Ros Omelet and is sold on food carts that line the streets of Goa. In this dish, omelette is served in a spicy tomato gravy with some pav (Indian dinner roll) on the side. It is a great protein packed dish to have any time of the day.
Street food is one of my favorite themes of all. These are generally reserved for the locals and are mostly unknown to everyone else. But with the globalization of food and social media, the world has become a smaller place. We now know instantly what a person is eating across the globe just by following them on any of their social media.
I read about this Ras Omelette for the first time on Vidya Narayan's (Masala Chili) blog. She made it vegan by making the omelette with besan/ chickpea flour. She also made the ras with white peas. I fell in love with the dish I minute I saw it and I knew this will be on the menu for this week.
In Konkani ras or ros means gravy and hence the name of the dish. Ras is made with chicken or chickpeas and is flavored with xacuti masala. I found a simple recipe for ras on Rediff.com that is made with tomatoes and spices. I will definitely try this dish with xacuti masala some time soon.
The fluffy omelette with the spicy ras and the pav is a great combination. Do try this protein rich dish - make it with meat or vegetarian or vegan.

That ras with tomato puree and coconut milk seems so versatile. I think it would be a perfect base for many recipes. With omelette it makes it very filling. 🙂 Good find Pavani.

Wow ! Even though I am a vegetarian I love this concept , it sounds like a great meal for those eating eggs . Sindhis make a similar curry with Besan chillas , let me make this into a veg version !
Awesome pick .
