    Random tip: Kala Namak is a condiment which tastes a lot like egg yolk. If you sprinkle it onto some cooked white beans, that’s kind of like scrambled eggs (well, it is different, but also good and might satiate a craving).

    Basically, Kala Namak is salt+sulphur. Egg yolk also contains sulphur, and well, sulphur is one of the minerals we should be eating anyways.

      Kala Namak

      That’s black salt! I like to use it in cooking sometimes, it’s a little like MSG. I’d never sprinkle it on something that’s already on a plate though.

      It also doesn’t have any protein to speak of.

      That said, it’s perfectly possible to eat tasty, healthy & balanced without eggs.

        It’s been a pretty common spice in vegan cooking for many decades now. it’s dystopian that this is how it’s being used now but the actual existence is pretty cool

        Chaat masala is delicious and this is one of the main ingredients, along with green mango powder (amchoor). The smell is a bit surprising at first but it’s good.
