UPDATE: Today (1/21/24) I found a copy-cat recipe on youtube. Compare his to mine:

Ingredients: 

1 cup split yellow mung beans 

1 1/3 cups of water 

1 tsp dehydrated onion flakes *or 1/2 – 3/4 tsp onion powder 

1/2 tsp of salt 

1/2 tsp of turmeric 

Add after cooking (sprinkle on top of your food): 1/4 tsp kala Namak (Black Salt) 

1/4 tsp black pepper 

Method: 

1. Rinse the mung beans well and then soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. 

2. Discard the water and add the mung beans to a blender. 

3. Add 1 1/3 cups of water, onion flakes, salt, and turmeric and blend until smooth. 

4. Now it is ready to use however you would like! Scrambled eggs, fried egg, or omelette. 

5. Sprinkle Kala Namak (Black Salt) on top of what you make for an eggy flavour, since the cooking process will cook out most of the eggy flavour. Add black pepper as well. Enjoy!
