feel free to mock and make fun of me. 
So whenever I make an omelette, sometimes ill add lal mirch and black pepper and salt…now whenever I add lal mirch…it doesn’t get mixed into the egg properly at all…they lump up, no matter how hard I beat the egg…it just creates more and more lal mirch lumps…what gives? and how do I do it so that it mixes properly into the egg???
Re: THE dumbest question ever
If you make it with onions, then when you are frying them and they are slightly brown put the mirch rather than mixing it with an egg. But this is strange, because when i mix it into the egg there only red bits not lumps. Maybe try beating the egg properly first and then add the mirch.
Re: THE dumbest question ever
What I do is add a little water into the bowl, add my seasonings mix it until blended and then break an egg into it and beat
Re: THE dumbest question ever
^That
Or may be mix all your seasoning with onion or green chilli (whatever you use) before adding an anda into it
Re: THE dumbest question ever
Who cares ? It still tastes good.
Beat the egg first then sprinkle mirch instead of dumping it in the egg and beat some more.
Re: THE dumbest question ever
I don't use red pepper powder in omelets at all. Sometimes I add it to the onions while they are frying but when I season the omelet I use salt, a bit of black pepper and crushed red pepper.

Haaaaaaaw haaaaai itna stoooopad kvaischun!!! :p
I kid. Hmm...I beat the eggs in a bowl really well, so that they lose that thickness/gloopiness...and have more thinner/flow consistency. And then I add the seasoning (salt, pepper, chili powder, green chillies, dhania, etc). You said in your post that you add the seasnoning and then beat the egg. Try beating it really well first...and then add the laal mirch.

Actually, it doesn't, because when there are lumps of lal mirch, it'll be unevenly distributed....some of it ends up in your mouth while another part fo the omelet may be pheeka....so it IS a matter of taste..

I do the same but that's with scrambled eggs....I'm talking about making an omelet, which btw, I don't put anything except salt and black pepper..but I think red chilli flakes might be a better option..hmmm

Oh sorry I meant, I beat the eggs, then add the seasonings and then beat them even more.

I like them better because they get evenly distributed and give the same taste.
Re: THE dumbest question ever
Sara, I saw my phupo use lal mirch powder for her omlette and what she did was that she took a tablespoon of water added lal mirch to it and then added that to the beaten egg. Her omlette had evenly distributed lal mirch and it was yummy :)
Re: THE dumbest question ever
mirch, revelvet and automne77
u all r saying right.
Actually sometime red pepper hoti hi is type ki hai that cant mix properly. agr egg beat krnay kay bad u put red pepper and still lumps there. then better way u first mix in bit water than add. its gud.
Sometime when u r cooking any kind of food aur after taste red pepper still looks kachi , or give irritate flavor. In that condition u mix red pepper into water 15 mins ago while put it in handi. u feel difference.
Re: THE dumbest question ever
There is another option for you then.
use a pepper shaker to sprinkle your laal mirch on your eggs after you poured the beaten egg in the frying pan. Then the mirch will be evenly distributed .

that's new for me. thanx 4 such sharing.
Re: THE dumbest question ever
Sara, many friends here mentioned adding a tablespoon of water abd mixing the mirch first and then add the egg .. I agree with that fully ...
If you want , you can mix the red chilli powder in a tablespoon of milk ... mix it well and then add it to the egg ... infact when i sometimes use garam masala powder in the egg , I mix all the spices in a few drops of milk and then add them to the egg .. milk or water , make the anda really soft and less rubbery ...
Try it ...
Re: THE dumbest question ever
Its not a dumb question, same thing happens to me as well. I think we should try and use crushed red chilli.
Re: THE dumbest question ever
The cause of the problem is that you are adding the lal mirch powder directly into egg and then beating it.
Take 1 tbsp of water add salt & lal mirch powder and then add egg and beat....lumps will never be formed.
Re: THE dumbest question ever
Here is what I suggest .,
instead of lal mirch powder, use crushed laal mirch. That gives a phenomenal taste and texture to the omelet.
Re: THE dumbest question ever
i add the seasoning in a little bit of water and beat before adding the egg.
Re: THE dumbest question ever
Why not just simply sprinkle it in while beating egg......not dump spoonful in..

I've done that too....but the freaky thing, it suddenly forms into lumps...weird eh
