Tips

About the ingredients:

Silken tofu:

  • If you can't find silken tofu at the supermarket or drugstore, you can also make it yourself from soy milk.

Kala namak:

  • Kala namak is a salt with a sulfurous taste. It's reminiscent of the typical taste of egg and is often used in vegan cooking. You'll rarely find it in the supermarket, but it's easy to get online.
