½ cup water
⅓ cup chickpea flour
2 tablespoons pea protein

½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon black salt (kala namak)

½ cup yellow onion, finely chopped
½ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

3 green onions, finely chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 Vegan Eggs (see recipe above)
What you do:
