  • Remove sautéd vegetable mix from the pan and place them into a bowl. Set aside.
  • Add remaining olive oil and firm tofu crumble to the pan and cook for eight minutes, mixing often and adding extra olive oil if needed.
  • Meanwhile, in a blender, combine silken tofu with milk, nutritional yeast, kala namak, turmeric, onion powder, and granulated garlic. Blend till smooth.
  • Pour silken tofu mix over the firm tofu crumble in the pan and cook on medium heat for 20 minutes or until you reach your desired texture and consistency, stirring occasionally. Once ready, fold in sautéed capsicum and serve warm with cherry tomatoes and avocado.
