From the author, Justin Lewis: The thing most people say they miss when becoming a vegan is cheese. For me, it’s the egg. Luckily for me (and you), there is a magical spice called Kala Namak. Kala Namak, also known as Himalayan Black Salt, is a black salt that tastes just like hardboiled eggs because of the sulfur compounds in it. You should be able to find this at any Indian food stores but I have found that it is cheapest to buy online through Amazon. Make sure you get the correct salt. There are two other kinds of black salt and they do not have the flavor we want for this recipe. This spice combined with a few other ingredients makes an excellent egg flavor seasoning that you can use in many other recipes. I personally use this seasoning for tofu scramble, chickpea “egg” salad, and in vegan mayo.
