Egg-less Spanish Omelette Recipe
A vegan Spanish omelette which is so delicious that you won't even notice the difference! The kala namak is what gives it an eggy taste. Black himalayan salt, or kala namak, can be found in health stores or from health stores online. It has a distinct taste of cooked egg and this is due to the sulphur content of the salt. Sulphur compounds are what give egg yolks their taste, so using this salt when substituting eggs in savoury dishes really makes a difference. If you don't have this salt or can't find it, add some Himalayan pink salt or a pinch of turmeric for added flavour and colour!
