 1 tbsp olive oil

 ¾ cup non-dairy milk (plain and unsweetened; oat or soy milk recommended)
 ½ tsp turmeric powder
 ¾ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
 2 twists black pepper
 ¼ tsp black salt or kala namak (optional for an eggy flavor; adjust for desired taste)

1

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick pan.

3

Season with salt and pepper, then fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

4

Pour in the unsweetened plant milk, followed by the turmeric powder and kala namak.

5

Stir and continue to cook on medium heat until the tofu achieves a soft and creamy texture, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Be cautious not to overcook to prevent drying.

6

Serving Suggestion:
For a wholesome meal, serve the tofu scramble atop toasted bread or inside a wrap. Garnish with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or parsley, and a side of roasted or air-fried veggies.


Variations:
Enhance your tofu scramble by adding mushrooms or spinach. Alternatively, wrap it up in a tortilla to create a delectable vegan breakfast burrito.


Tips:

  • For an authentic "eggy" flavor, don't skip the kala namak. Adjust the quantity to suit your taste preference.
  • Always use unsweetened plant milk to maintain the savory profile of the dish.
  • Keep a close eye during the final cooking stage to ensure the tofu remains moist and creamy.
