Omelette With Spicy Topping

I always make omelette at home be it for breakfast or as a side dish for lunch or dinner. I'm bored with ordinary omelette and was thinking to come up with some add on for the humble omelette. That's how I came up with this delicious omelette with spicy topping. I added mayonnaise to the omelette mixture to give a rich and creamy taste which will compliment the spicy topping.

The coconut in the topping add texture to the yummy topping. You may reduce the heat level according to your preference by adjusting the amount of chillies in the dish. Red chilly goes well with the dish too instead of dried chilly.  I used banana leaf to enhance the flavor of the omelette and I simply love it. The topping can be served as a side by it's own with white rice or roti.
