There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Biryani Omelette - Testing

We had a potluck and someone left biryani. What to do? Throw an egg on top!

Per Single Serving

1 cup leftover biryani rice (ensure it is cold)
2-3 large eggs
1-2 tbsp chilli oil or ghee (ghee enhances the biryani flavor)
1 tbsp spring onions, chopped (optional)
Salt & pepper to taste
  1. Heat the oil/ghee in a 8" oven-proof fry pan. 
  2. Add the leftover biryani rice and spread it in a thin, even layer. 
  3. Press it down with a spatula to help it form a crust. 
  4. Let it cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy. 
  6. Pour the whisked eggs directly over the rice, ensuring it covers the rice completely.
  7. Immediately sprinkle the spring onions over the eggs. 
  8. With the egg still uncooked on the surface, (not just slithery but actually jiggly), slip the pan into the oven and broil.
  9. When the egg is set and the edges puff up a little, take it out of the oven and carefully fold the omelette before serving.
  10. Fold the omelette in half and serve immediately with hot sauce or yogurt.
