Easy Vegan Indian Inspired Tofu Scramble

This Easy Vegan Indian Inspired Tofu Scramble will satisfy your cravings for eggs in the morning. It’s packed with protein and veggies, and it makes you not miss eggs at all! The touch of kala-namak is important, as it gives the whole thing an ‘eggy’ taste and smell.

Now, I grew up eating eggs for breakfast. I never got bored with them, I loved them. But when I discovered the scrambled tofu alternative to the eggs, I was really happy, and I don’t miss eggs now at all.
I have given this tofu scramble a twist, by adding additional Indian spices, because, for me, spices make the dish, and I am obsessed with spices.
The recipe is flexible to taste, add veggies of choice, change up the spices, and make this your own.

I have said this before, but I will say it again. Tofu isn’t terrible. You have had a bad experience with it (simply because it wasn’t cooked right) and that put you off trying it again, but believe me, tofu is amazing once you learn how to cook it properly. It’s literally a staple in my diet as a vegan.
