Method

  1. In a small bowl, crack and beat 2 large eggs. Season with kosher salt and mix well.

  2. In another small bowl, combine ¼ cup cilantro and/or mint leaves with the juice of 1 lime wedge. Season with salt and set aside.

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. Add 1 thinly sliced large shallot, 1 finely chopped jalapeño (seeds removed if desired), and 2 finely chopped garlic cloves to the skillet. Season with salt and cook until the shallot is slightly softened, stirring occasionally (about 3 minutes).

  5. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of mustard seeds, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric over the skillet, using a swooping motion to evenly distribute the spices. If desired, spray with nonstick vegetable oil spray, but do not stir.

  6. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the mixture into a thin layer. Cover with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes until the top of the crepe is just set.

  7. Scatter the reserved herbs over half of the crepe.

  8. Using a heatproof spatula, fold the other half of the crepe up and over the herbs.

  9. Slide the folded crepe onto a plate.

  10. Serve the crepe with ketchup.
