Fijian Potato Omelette - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
    2 teaspoons mustard seeds
    2 teaspoons cumin seeds
    1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
    1 teaspoon curry powder
    1 pinch cayenne
    2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
    1 teaspoon gingerroot, peeled and minced
    4 medium-large potatoes, peeled, diced and cooked
    1 cup peas, thawed if using frozen
    6 eggs
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Preparation
    Heat oil in a large, heavy frypan and gently fry onion, spices, garlic and ginger over a low heat for about 10 minutes.
    Remove from heat and mix in potatoes and peas.
    Beat eggs in a large bowl.
    Add the spiced vegetables to the eggs and combine evenly.
    Season well.
    Lightly re-oil the pan. Pour mixture back into the pan and cook over a very low heat for 8-10 minutes, taking care the omelette doesn't burn.
    As it cooks, heat grill. To finish off, place omelette under grill until it puffs up and turns golden.
    Stand for 5 minutes before turning out.
    Allow to cool then cut into wedges.
