What to serve with Masala Omelette?

The best companion to masala omelette is toasted bread. I like to toast my bread until it is crisp but you can even try pairing it with softly toasted bread.

Instead of using a toaster for toasting the bread, you can also toast it on a tawa. It gives a totally different taste to the bread.

I also like to serve masala omelet with paratha.
