Equipment

  • Non-stick frying pan (10.5 inch / 26 cm)
  • TofuBud (pressing tofu in 15 minutes)
  • Simple tofu press

Ingredients

  • 11 oz Firm tofu
  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Onion (medium sized)
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • ½ cup Vegan yogurt
  • 3 Tbsp Chickpea flour
  • 3 Tbsp Water
  • ½ tsp Black salt
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 2 tsp Nutritional yeast
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the ingredients

  • Press tofu to release excess moisture. Tear apart tofu with your hands to medium size chunks.
  • Peel and chop onion and garlic.
  • In a bowl mix vegan yogurt, chickpea flour, water and half of the black salt. Whisk until it's smooth. Texture should be similar to a pancake batter.

Making the tofu scramble

  • Take a non-stick saucepan and add olive oil. On medium heat saute onions for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
  • Add tofu. Season with half of the black salt and black pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Tofu chunks should get some color but don't over cook them.
  • Add turmeric and nutritional yeast. Stir well until all tofu chunks are covered.
  • Add wet mixture. Stir well, then let it sit for a minute before stirring again. Cook until it's still creamy but not runny (about 2-3 minutes).
