vegan egg

I’m always looking for ways to improve my health and this vegan egg recipe fits the bill. Made with moong beans, coconut milk, and a few pantry staples, this has changed the way I cook at home. Substitute 3 TBSP of this in place of one large egg, and you’ll have a delicious vegan swap to traditional eggs. The addition of black salt is what gives it that eggy smell and flavor, and you can adjust that quantity up or down according to your preference or the particular application you intend to use it for. I’ve used this for making fresh pasta, omelettes, brownies, cookies, enriched bread doughs, batter for frying and the list goes on and on. The other beautiful thing about this recipe is that it comes together in a couple minutes, and freezes beautifully if you want to make sure you always have some on hand. I freeze it in 3 TBSP ice cube trays so that it’s easy to pop out an egg anytime I need it for a recipe.

When I think of Gujarati food, I think of comfort, and this dish fully delivers on that. Dumplings made of rice and wheat flour are packed with spices, and then simmered in a rich, flavorful broth. They then develop a texture that is soft on the outside with the middle having just the right amount

baked chakri

So many Gujarati snacks center around being spicy, crunchy, and often fried. I love the first two, but try to maintain as healthy of a diet as possible (without sacrificing flavor, of course), so I’m always looking for ways to avoid frying. Not to mention the mess that it makes when doing so. Fortunately, my
