Method

Heat the oil in a cast-iron or copper pan over medium-high heat; if using butter, add it for extra aroma.
Add the tomato paste to the hot oil and fry over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until it darkens and loses its raw smell.
Add the grated tomato and stir for about 3 to 4 minutes, until its water is absorbed and it combines with the paste.
Add the turmeric, black pepper and salt; optionally add a rose petal or a little cinnamon for aroma.
Break the eggs one by one onto the hot sauce; wait until the whites set, then gently mix with a fork or wooden spatula, keeping the omelette slightly textured rather than fully mashed.
Let a light, golden crust form under the omelette.
Serve the omelette hot directly from the pan with fresh sangak or barbari bread.
