Treat your ingredients with care...

• Tapioca flour — Make sure to use tapioca flour specifically, as other flours will not yield the same texture.
• Coconut milk — Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
• Cumin — Toasting the cumin seeds before grinding them will enhance their aroma and flavor.

• For added flavor, you can sprinkle grated cheese on top of the omelette before flipping it.
• Serve the Brazilian-style Kerak Telor with a side of fresh salsa or chimichurri sauce for a burst of freshness.
• Experiment with different spices and herbs to customize the flavor profile of the omelette.
• If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of chili powder or a few drops of hot sauce to the tapioca mixture.
• Leftover omelette can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster oven for a quick and delicious breakfast or snack.
