Notes
*Tofu: For best results, I recommend using extra firm tofu for a chewier consistency that more closely resembles scrambled eggs.
**Black Salt: Black salt, also known as kala namak, gives this recipe a slightly egg-like sulfuric taste and smell. If you don’t have black salt, you can use regular table salt as a substitute.
***Cashew Cream: To make cashew cream add 1 cup of cashews and 1 cup of water to a high speed blender and blend into a smooth cream-like consistency. Store the remainder of the unused cashew cream in the fridge for up to one week. You can also substitute full-fat coconut milk in place of the cashew cream if you prefer.
