Ros omelette with chicken curry – Goan style street food recipe

Ros Omelette is a lesser-known but delicious Goan street food where a fluffy omelette is served with a flavorful chicken curry poured over it. The omelette, light and airy, soaks up the rich curry, creating a perfect blend of textures and flavors. Each bite is a mix of tender chicken pieces and the soft omelette, making it an ideal comfort food. Though popular in Goa’s streets, it’s easy to recreate at home and is a great way to enjoy a taste of Goan cuisine right in your kitchen. We had a lot of fun preparing it!

Chicken Xacuti Curry is a flavorful Goan dish made with a blend of roasted spices like coriander, cumin, and cloves, along with coconut, creating a rich and creamy curry. It’s a delicious, aromatic sauce with deep layers of spice, making it perfect to pour over a fluffy omelette in the Ros Omelette dish. The combination of tender chicken and the creamy, spice-infused curry gives every bite a burst of flavor. Chicken Xacuti is one of Goa’s iconic curries, and pairing it with an omelette elevates this street food to a heartier, more satisfying meal.

expert tips

Beat the eggs well: Whisk the eggs until they are light and airy for a fluffier omelette that can absorb the Xacuti curry better.

Cook on medium heat: Ensure you cook the omelette on medium heat so it cooks evenly and doesn’t burn, giving a nice, golden finish.

Fresh curry for best flavour: Use freshly made Chicken Xacuti for a richer flavor and aroma, as the spices and coconut enhance the dish when freshly prepared. You can replace it with any curry of your choice.
