Medium-firm tofu has just enough moisture to crumble into a scrambled egg–like texture in this breakfast dish inspired by Indian anda bhurji. Slightly pink in color, the kala namak (black salt) adds eggy, sulfurous flavors to this dish.

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add cumin seeds; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion and chile; cook, stirring often, until mixture is softened and onion is golden brown around edges, about 6 minutes. Add tomato, garlic, and ginger; cook, stirring often, until tomato breaks down into a chunky paste, about 2 minutes. Stir in turmeric, black pepper, and kala namak until combined. Add tofu and kosher salt; gently fold into tomato mixture until tofu turns light yellow. Cook, stirring occasionally and being careful not to overwork, until liquid has slightly evaporated, about 7 minutes. Stir in cilantro. Serve over toast with lime wedges.
