Indonesian-Inspired Banana Omelette for Two

Indonesian-Inspired Banana Omelette for Two

By: Lee Holmes

This recipe reminds me of the breakfast street food I enjoyed every morning when I was teaching English across Indonesia. You can make a savoury version too with shallots, garlic, chilli and toasted shredded coconut. The sweet version also tastes sensational with in-season mango, chopped mint and toasted coconut.
