We spent Saturday at the Dartmouth Food Festival, sampling the fab food on offer and it reminded me how much I love street food. One of my favourite make-at-home street food recipes is this crispy buttermilk chicken burger, piled high with honey mustard coleslaw. I’ve perfected the coating for the buttermilk fried chicken over a number of years. It’s super simple to make, REALLY tasty and I use it as a basis for this burger recipe but also some of my other fried chicken recipes, like my Korean Fried Chicken, my base recipe for Crispy Chicken Tenders and Crispy Fried Chicken pieces, as well as my Asian-inspired Chinese Crispy Chicken With Honey Garlic Sauce....

Unlike a French-style omelet, whose eggs are fluffy and not cooked all the way, the Indian omelet is the opposite. The edges are slightly golden and crispy. Even the vegetables aren’t sautéed prior. Instead, they’re cooked simultaneously with the eggs. Some experts might scoff, but I urge you to be patient. It’s simply a different way people from another part of the world approaches an omelet (we even spell omelets differently – omelet v/s omelette)....
