Spicy Indian Omelette

This is an unusual way of cooking an omelette. The result is much thicker and more solid than an ordinary omelette, therefore longer, slower cooking is required.

2 tablespoons cornflour
150 g (5.3 oz) carton natural yogurt
8 eggs
1 small onion, chopped finely
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon chilli powder
¼ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon cumin seeds, crushed
50 g (2 oz) frozen peas, thawed
Salt to taste
