Vegetarian Egg Thoran / Vegetarian Version of Scrambled Eggs

share this

I am really excited to share this recipe with you all. Because this is one of the recipe which i have cooked more than anything else when i first started cooking, i think 5 years back. I used to type my recipes and take print out of them and save them in a translucent cover and file them together. Those recipes are like a treasure. I have almost forgot many recipes from them till last week. When i was looking at my old recipe collections and books, i saw the file which i made years back. I came across this recipe and remembered the beautiful stories behind them.

Immediately i tried it and took pictures to share it with you all. I call this as my vegetarian egg thoran because this does taste like egg. Believe me guys it really does…You can check out my recipe for the eggless french toast recipe. There is something with the gramflour which really taste like egg when cooked. You have to try it once to realize the taste of it. I hope you will give this a try and let me know what you think..
