About the Ingredients
Tofu: You can use all types of tofu but It works better with firm tofu. Wrap it in a tea towel and press it for 15mins. Tofu is high in protein and contains all the essential amino acids your body needs. It also provides fats, carbs, and a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and isoflavones. This specific combination of fiber, protein and isoflavones may also explain why whole soy foods such as tofu appear to be more beneficial for lowering cholesterol levels than soy supplements.
Black Salt (Kala Namak): This is what make this tofu so eggy. You can use normal salt but it is not the same. I avoid salt in general but I have a few exceptions, like this recipe. Black salt or Kala Namak is a kiln-fired rock salt with a sulphurous, pungent smell used in the Indian subcontinent. It is composed largely of sodium chloride, lending the salt its colour and smell. It adds a smell almost like egg.
Tahini: Tahini adds creaminess, nuttiness and will bring all the ingredients together. It is also our only source of fat, a healthy fat that brings a sense of indulging but it’s healthy.
Nutritional Yeast: Nutritional yeast, also called “nooch,” is a popular food product often used in vegan cooking. This powdered or flaked yeast gets its name from the nutrients it contains, including protein and a wide array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Studies show that nutritional yeast offers several potential health benefits, ranging from lower cholesterol to protection from cellular damage that leads to disease. As a umami, cheesy flavour great to add to savoury dishes and thickening sauce, soups and stews.
