Vegetarian but want to try omelette? Here’s how to make it without eggs

Recently, IHOP, the global breakfast giant, known for its delectable pancakes, in a move to woo its vegetarian clients made an eggless omelette recently among huge media fanfare. While they have been making eggless pancakes and waffles since long, the attempt to make eggless omelette was for those who crave for fluffy, protein-rich omelettes but can’t have them as they are vegans or vegetarians in principle. What is an eggless omelette? Is it even possible to make it, or is it an apology of its non-vegetarian counterpart? (Image: Instagram/delhifoodnest)
