Notes

The recipe is for 4 persons or for 2 to 3 with a (very) healthy appetite.
Dont' Waste your taste tips: Only add the Kala Namak at the end, otherwise it might absorb the moisture from your tofu scramble.
Should you replace Kala Namak with your ordinary salt, you will need less salt. Kala Namak is not as salty as regular salt. Best as always: add a bit, taste and add a bit more.
