Ingredients

  • 1 white onion finely chopped
  • 2 ½ cups button mushrooms 175 g, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ½ cups silken tofu 375 g
  • ½ teaspoon black salt kala namak
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Toppings (optional)

  • 3 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chives chopped

Instructions

  • Place a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a splash of water or oil and sautée for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent. 
  • Add the chopped mushrooms, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir to combine and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms turn golden, add the silken tofu in small-ish chunks to the pan. Break it down gently with a wooden spoon or spatula and mix it with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Add all of the spices: black salt, turmeric, smoked paprika, and nutritional yeast. Stir until well combined, then increase the heat to high.
  • Cook until the silken tofu doesn’t release any more water and a light golden brown “skin” forms.
  • Remove from the heat and serve on freshly toasted bread, topped with fresh herbs. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can leave out smoked paprika and nutritional yeast for a more straightforward flavor.
  • The black salt is necessary for the eggy flavor; however if you cannot get your hands on it, use more regular salt instead.
