do I miss eggs?

- Most vegans usually say they miss cheese the most after turning vegan. I personally don’t miss cheese at all. What I did miss were eggs. It’s such an easy-to-prepare protein source, so versatile, and tastes great! Of course, being against the practices involving egg production, I am always on a quest to find easy vegan swaps for egg-based recipes. This Vegan tofu bhurji is one of those.
It gives me the same satisfaction as the spicy egg scramble that I used to have growing up!
Give it a try and you won’t regret it.

In India cow milk is pure vegan ❤️
Which is this knife ..kindly tell about both of them ..what is the rectangular knife is called?
Eggs are about as vegetarian as milk aka paneer
@@momibhattacharjee5685 🤣😃🫠🤭
@@duhduh666 eggs are non veg 🤣
It's genetically predetermined whether cilantro tastes like soap to some people. So they unfortunately can't help it, it's in their genes. Sucks for them. 😋
not really... sometimes it tastes soapy to me and sometimes it doesn't
I luvvv cilantro
Wow i can't imagine how cilantro tastes like soap
I'm one of those people. It taste like a bar of ivory soap to me. I've tried to get accustomed to it but it's just gross for me
@@scienceislove2014 maybe you have the heterogeneous gene for it.
As an Indian vegetarian (that doesnt eat egg) my dad loves Paneer Bhurji and he is usually the one to make it in our household. Honestly I love Paneer so anything with paneer tastes good for me.
I noticed that my vegetarian Indian friends consider eating eggs as non-vegetarian. But being vegetarian means not eating meat while being vegan means not eating any animal products including eggs. Could you please explain this discrepancy?
See, a lot of people think eggs are not meat but some people do including my family. Vegans don’t eat ANY dairy products or meat such as milk, cheese, eggs, and etc. Vegetarians eat dairy products but don’t eat meat. Here is why my parents think eggs are considered meat: The egg yolk supposedly turns into a baby chick after a while and people are just eating the baby chick in the form of egg yolk. Let me know if you have any other questions! ❤
@@sreeanaghaneraniki8650 Thanks for explaining! This is really interesting and makes me wonder if you or your parents are aware that not all eggs are fertilized? Unfertilized eggs are basically a waste product since they will never develop a chick, so by your reasoning you should be able to eat unfertilized eggs!
@@jeannaakanova5303 yes people are aware of that, but the answer isn't a simple black or white one.
The classification of eggs as 'non-vegetarian' is due to a number cultural reasons (and only applicable to particular cultures/regions of India btw; there are many, many more), and it might be hard to grasp for you if you're not aware of the history behind it all.
So yes, the reasoning might be a little hard to understand, but it IS a different culture altogether. [For comparison, the 'gluten-free' and 'vegan' lifestyles of the west are similarly somewhat perplexing for some Indians, (the new generation is more aware of course)]
In India we often have 3 classifications - 'vegetarian', 'eggetarian (veg+eggs)', 'non-vegetarian' [and many more; if you're interested, look into 'Jain' food, another major food-classification group; again with a lot of cultural reasons behind it].
And most vegetarians in India are 'lacto-vegetarians' (veg+dairy products).
A lot of it comes down to cultural differences.
@@jeannaakanova5303 actually we Hindus believe in minimalizing the harmful effect on nature to live sustainably since the last 5000years. So, we mostly lived on Vegetarian food and the typical vegetarian Indian food won't have eggs because it's an animal product ultimately. Some Hindu groups are even stricter by having only one meal a day, leaving on fruits, fasting, not eating plant tubers etc, to cause less "suffering" to plants. We did have non-vegetarians ,but majority were vegetarians and still are. Vegetarian Hindus eat dairy and plant-based products, Vegan Hindus don't touch dairy products too. That reflects in the culture of India, of course, Muslims and Christians here eat meat of all animals, but they use significantly less meat as compared to rest of the world, due to the Hindu influence.
As an Indian my mother makes it everytime our fresh milk gets spoiled and not drinkable
The paneer obtained from it is the softest and creamiest 💜
Edit: thenxxx for the information in the reply section guys🤧
She's also indian😂
Hehe.. Same
Oh woaww! Just the same my mom does 🥺🤍
I do this as well 😅
But she is vegan..
As someone with an egg allergy, going to Indian was incredible, UK vegan cakes are just too pricey for me to bother buying so i never have them or dessert anywhere, but in India, I could walk into any cake shop or restaurant and they were all egg free!!!
Cake box in England is eggless cakes. They're pretty good too.
@@mariakhan7986ur crazy, they taste like plain white bread and whipped cream
@@XoxoShaziapff
Not all indian bakeries are eggfree. You need to explicitly ask for Eggless cakes and confectionery.
@@anons090 nah most bakeries are veg and you can check the symbol as well. Most famous ones like monginis are totally vegetarian
For people who are looking for an alternative to Cilantro because you have that gene. Do not use flat parsley. Try fresh basil. Thai basil for Asian dishes, euro basil for Spanish dishes. It's apparently similar enough in profile and fits those dishes well. Flat parsley has no flavor where coriander/cilantro does have a flavor beyond spicy soap.
Well freshly picked flat parsley has indeed a lot of flavour and the profile is way closer to coriander than basil is. Thai basil is ok but European basil has a totally different taste. As well as a different reaction to being soaked in water and cooked.
Yeah thank youu for explaining the difference between the vegetarianism around the world vs vegetarianism in India. Yes as an Indian vegetarian, we don't eat eggs or meat but consume dairy products like milk, cheese, butter etc. Tho I didn't knew that those vegetarians who eat eggs are called eggitarians here-
It's a very common notion where I live, my friends call me eggetarian, I just love eggs
@Myself Otaku 🔥🔥 My friend used this term once but I didn't knew this is the term used for vegetarians who eat eggs. I thought it was made for egg obsessed people lol
What are u trying to say here? Yk that there's a diff btwn vegans and vegetarians right? . We vegetarians drink/eat dairy products while vegans don't.
@@kdjoshi726 😂😂 I mean, it would be a nice name for the egg obsessed people too
@@myselfotaku9188 Ikr?
I am a non vegetarian,but I never miss your videos 😂 it s so satisfying to watch... ❤️
there is actually a gene that makes coriander/cilantro taste like soap to some people, it’s not them being insensitive!
she didn’t mean it like that. in fact she didn’t even say anything insulting. she just pointed something out. you should learn to lighten up. otherwise the real world will crush you :)
@@mallarieluvsgirlsirony 😂
That is so interesting! I have worked in the food industry for 15 years now and feel like I'm fairly well-versed in the different dietary preferences. I did not know this about Indian vegetarians and no eggs. Thanks for the info, I always love to learn something new!❤
Most Indian vegetarians outside of india eat eggs as it's harder to find vegetarian options in the west. But some will still avoid eggs. And in India itself most vegetarians don't eat eggs.
As for the reason, eggs are considered meat as they can develop into an animal. Biologically speaking it's quite different from milk or honey, as those foods are made by animals but do not contain cells. Milk cannot be alive, but eggs can be. But some modern vegetarians will still eat eggs. If they're not fertilized then they will never become a chicken anyways.
I'm vegetarian now nd ur recipes r genuinely helping me..thnk u so much love from India♥️♥️
They're not even recipes, NPC
I love ur vids ! 💗 also that avocado slice was 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 chefs kiss 🤌🏻🫶🏻💗
Yay! Thank you!
my brain read it as "i love ur kids"🤦
@@tanmaypanadi1414 even me
@@beextravegant don't compare paneer to egg, it is the veg equivalent of chicken or mutton , not in taste, but in rank or tier
@@saprkyingvalkyrie2136she didn’t. she said she was using it as a replacement. why are you so offended?? snowflake
This is really interesting, I never knew this about Indian culture, so thank you for sharing this information with me
Indian vegetarians did not come up with an alternative to egg scramble
..a large no of vegetarians are so by birth why would they even find an alternative to something they have never tasted?
Yes, speaking as an Indian it’s quite popular back home .
And besan Pura (chickpea flour pancake) is a FANTASTIC easy fast high protein, flavourful vegan omlette! Super nice with diced veggies in it too!
ok but that was the most beautiful avocado I have laid my eyes on ngl
You should try Panasakaya (jackfruit) biryani. A very popular Andhra dish served in weddings. It tastes soo good and a great alternative in vegan cooking
I'm trying this without the soap leaves. Thanks for breaking the recipe down!
I never heard the word *eggiterians* but that sounds So cool😭❤️
BTW love your videos
Hehehe! I heard it a lot growing up.
Glad you like my videos!! 😭
I've always heard it called ovotarian (or more rarely ovo-vegetarian).
My cousin is vegetarian and has scrambled mushroom instead of egg…. And once she made me some and now I’m addicted to mushrooms 😀👍
Paneer bhurji in a tortilla/roti with guacamole is actually fire.
Okay now i gotta try this
i'm on the verge of tears this looks so delicious
This is the first time I've heard anyone describe their self as a "soy girl". That sounds adorable 😂❤
Soy girl is fine but soy boy isn't 💀💀💀💀
My sister just made this recipe and it's one of the best tofu scrambles I have ever had! Thank you 🙏
girl I eat eggs every single morning 😭😭 but I can literally smell how good the food is from the screen, it looks so good 💖
Such a sweet voice, without crappy background music. Shukriah betty
As a non vegetarian indian, i tasted tofu very recently and i love it. 😊
I am an Indian vegetarian and my family is one of those who like tofu more than panneer it all happened during covid lol 😂😂 and we are from southern part of India hence we kind of had a hate love relationship with panneer
I’m South Indian too, but I *DIE* for paneer! But I hate tofu!
@@sanjanaakotyada4753 well families are different likewise are the tastes. But I mentioned southern India cause we don't have any traditional panneer recipes of our own nor do we break/curdle milk to make it so both tofu and panneer are distant proteins for us.
@༼ཆ༽ I know ma I said south cause of panneer not being a traditional source of protein for vegetarians here....
My brother has a love hate relationship with paneer lol
@samayalupta Paneer was not always unknown in southern part of India. I've seen both sweet and savoury paneer recipies in medieval Kannada cookbooks. It probably fell out of favour in recent history.
I became vegetarian 4 years back, have never felt the need to find alternative of non-veg. I left non-veg while practicing Yoga & within my mind I was fully content on leaving it may be that's why.
I've recently cut back on egg consumption, I just don't like them. I'd love to try this
Eggs r must..
This video is why I'm now following your channel. I am having a hard time replacing eggs and dairy products. Glad that you became part of my algorithm.
That looks so good. Eggs hurt my stomach and I don't know why. But I don't know what to sub it out for, so I keep eating it. Same with milk.
You might be allergic
Although I'm an Indian Vegetarian, I eat eggs as when my father was little he had to eat them because he was ill despite my grandmother not wanting him to and therefore he also got me into eating eggs.
If your tofu has a bad aftertaste, you've got some bad tofu.
Pure Bliss, indeed!
honestly tofu scramble w onions and peppers (tumeric for yellow) is such a perfect alternative for eggs imo
As a Pakistani meat eater whose tried to be vegetarian several times, I respect any type of vegetarians/vegans
Is it easy being vegetarian in Pakistan? Also, what's your reason to be vegetarian?
This looks so good. I despise eggs because of the taste and smell and always feel like I’m missing out on eggy breakfasts. I can’t wait to try this.
Wow! Wat a finished look
Bridge you created between indian to western" here" is awesome 😍😍
Eggitarian is a lovely word for that, I'm gonna use it more often, wherever I can.
You encourage me to cook food at home! Basically spend time for myself! 😊
She looks like a topper student 🙌
That looked soo good 🫠 I love different variations of tofu. I also don't mind the aftertaste.
I would recommend trying Mary’s test kitchen’s pumpkin seed tofu for this! It’s higher in fat than normal tofu so should work perfect for this
I didn’t know vegetarians ate eggs at all so this was very informative!
Your face is glowing brighter than my lamp
That explains SO MUCH! Thank you ❤! I had an Indian friend who wasn't an eggetarian and since he also wasn't vegan I was so confused. I also never forget though, once I made a cake and he got to it first (this was in the dorms and we had a communal kitchen where I left the cake baking) because he said he could smell it. He was actually eating it by the time I came back 🤣! I didn't have the heart to tell him that the cake was made with eggs...I guess if they're cooked, non-eggetarians can't tell? 😮
Yum Yum as always! Gonna try this ASAP
Yay!! Let me know how it goes!!
Looks yummy!!
One question: Do you post your videos right after or do you edit it and post at a particular time
I don’t have any particular schedule. I like to post around once a week.
@@beextravegant Okk. Thanks for the heart. You're one of my favorite content creators ❤
indian vegetarian(bengali) : we also don't eat onion & garlic
But eat fish right
...but it does taste like soap.
I had a friend who thought cilantro tastes like soap and enjoyed that 😆 There's a chewing gum sold here that advertises that it tastes like soap, and he loved it because of that.
I still don't know why I m addicted to wheel soap smell since little n still if I get I like to smell n I feel to eat it solid since little.. also I lov soaps than shower gell, etc other natural.. coz solid form smell creamy foamy nice feelings ..
a subsitute for a subsitute... love it!!!
The first time I ate cilantro I got the soapy taste, but after a few tries I'm obsessed with it. It's a necessity
THAT LOOKS SO FREAKIN GOOD OMG
Coriander is a must! ❤
If you can eat it without getting intoxicated with the soap flavour 😢 How does it taste originally? Same effect for ginger😅
Am really interested on knowing more about eating meat. Thank you Portia for sharing your experience
Vegetarians who don't eat eggs are called lacto-vegetarians 👍
Lacto-vegetarians would consume dairy.
Ovo-vegetarians (sometimes called ovotarians) consume eggs.
@@MarkBurtenshaw lacto vegetarian, isn't the same thing as vegan... lacto vegetarians eat everything but meat and eggs, hope this clears out any confusion
@@ignistrum I'm not sure all confusion is gone. But first:
I'm apologize, I may have misread your initial post. Based on my reply, I think I read it as "do" instead of "don't", or missed the word entirely. I thought you had stated that lacto-vegetarians are egg eaters. Hence my correction that lacto-vegetarians are dairy eaters and egg eaters are ovo-vegetarians. Mea culpa.
I could argue some finer points surrounding ambiguity in your phrasing in a couple of places... but I'm not really here to get too pedantic. Basically, we're in agreeance and have the same understanding.
That aside, I have no idea why you brought vegans up out of nowhere. Neither of us mentioned vegans. So there's some confusion there. But everything else is cleared up, methinks.
Anywho... lovely day to you.
@@MarkBurtenshawok, understood 🙂
Such good podcast. Please bring him again and again he is very intellectual.
Do you make your own recipe or from any other sources,❤️
It’s usually always a combination of one or more of the following: my own creation, recipes I grew up watching my mom prepare, recipes I found interesting on the internet and decided to modify according to taste.
@@beextravegant it's not good to combine uncooked and cooked food, bec both have different digestion time
Never knew that Paneer Bhurji was an alternative for egg scramble. Been eating it for so many years, famous in a vegetarian family for like 40-50 years. Maybe egg scramble was inspire by *"PANEER BHURJI!!!"*
Pure blissssss!
I am also using tomato purée now a days , tomatoes are being very very costly in Sweden
Nice toast
But it does taste like soap 😭 I can’t help it it’s genetics I swearrr
As a vegetarian who eats egg I love paneer bhurji
I wish for a day when the world understands that egg is not vegetarian. Oh how many awkward interactions can be avoided.
Because egg is chicken period. It's like milk, no animal is harmed.
So according to u milk is also not vegetarian
Here vegetarian would not be a good term. Also eggs aren't sattvik. While milk is. For Indians use the Indian system❤
@@chaelisa2763 is mothers milk vegetarian? Then yeah milk is vegetarian
@EspeonMistress00 chicken period is is still featus. This is why it is avoided.
That avocado slices are so satisfactory
First of all the definotion of vegetarian is someone who eat plant based food but also animal by-products like milk and egg and the ones who avoid even the animal by-products and only eat pure plant based is vegan so most people in india are vegan and not vegetarian and those who do eat egg are vegetarian and not eggitarian lol
No. Because they drink milk, eat ghee and butter
My friends always call me eggetarian cuz yeah a lot of people consider egg to be neither veg Or non veg
That looks so delicious 😋 😍
Paneer alone is not high fat. You get low fat paneer options. If you want to make low fat paneer at home you simply use low fat / skimmed milk. I hate how you categorise vegan items and non vegan items. You’re not making a better choice by not choosing paneer or choosing tofu. It’s about preference. Also tofu does not taste like paneer anyway. It can get really chewy if not cooked properly. Paneer bhurji would give you a different taste. So as much as you can replace it, it won’t be the same.
Low fat paneer is chenna
Exactly. Don't diss paneer unnecessarily. Tofu gives me digestive issues and bloating, everytime I eat it. So I stick to paneer. It depends entirely on each person's body and their personal preference.
Yep paneer tastes better for me
NOTHING CAN REPLACE EGGS
CHANGE MY MIND
I agree nothing can replace eggs, but the reason people stop eating eggs isn't because they don't like the taste, it's because the egg industry is very cruel to the hens there.
We do not really care about it tho..
I don’t like eggs, but I do like spicy food and toast. This sounds perfect!
Indian doobydobap
She probably doesn't even know whom you are talking about !
@@goof.7874probably does bcos there is alot of similarities
This looks so good! I'm super allergic to eggs and dairy, and I love your recipes!
You do miss eggs and dairy girl! The fact that you are trying to replicate their taste in your food is a testimony to that.
THAT LOOKS SO GOOD
I GET that it sounds whiny but it’s not something we can help and it’s not just that it tastes like soap - its that it overpowers every flavor in your mouth so the second you bite just a bit of that leaf you nearly can’t taste the rest of your food 😭 We really just need alternatives since it apparently tastes distinct enough to be specifically desirable
As a Hispanic I do know a perfect substitute for people who can't eat coriander/cilantro. Before cilantro was brought to the America's people ate recao/culantro. Recao personally tastes like a more delicious cilantro to me but the most important thing is it doesn't seem to have that soapy flavor. This is from the anecdotal evidence of someone who can eat cilantro though so try it before you add it into your food.
Your food is the most delicious I've ever seen on YT! Just my kind of taste
I was wondering about that!! I used to work in a candy store in the tourist section of San Francisco. Only Indian tourists asked if a certain candy had egg in it. I wondered why. Also, Indians were much more likely than other groups to be interested in sugar free candy.
In India vegetarian do not consume eggs. Eggs are considered non vegetarian. Also many Indians do not consume onion and garlic as these are not ideal for a satvik diet. Also, Jain community do not consume any root vegetables. However, Indians do consume dairy and honey.
that avocado looks like it was raised by two very loving parents.
This was my favorite thing to eat when I worked at an Indian restaurant
Omg what this explains it
So I was talking to this Indian girl and I said I was vegetarian, se then asked me if I ate eggs and I said yes. She then for really confused and said I wasn’t vegetarian and I was confused for a while thank you
I really like this recipe, especially as someone who has never liked scrambled eggs
Technically speaking, egg eating vegetarians are called ovo vegetarians in the States. But nobody uses it because it’s generally considered that eating eggs doesn’t go against a vegetarians diet. You’re more likely to hear somebody say I’m a vegetarian and I also don’t eat eggs.
That avocado went to private school 😂🤣
As someone who HATES the taste of eggs and meat, being a vegetarian is pretty easy 😅 (but then I remember murgh makhani (butter chicken))
Wwooooww thats looks soo GOOD!!!!!❤❤❤
That looks so gooood
I personally just don't really like eggs so i might try this
Omg yesss my college used to serve this in our vegan cafeteria!! Sooo gooodd
Everyone:talking about the burji
Me:you have beautiful hair❤😊
Paneer scramble is my favourite I'll try Tofu next time!
the last time I checked it is ovo-vegetarian. I am Indian and never heard a term called eggiterian before this video. now I know a new term.
That avocado is smoother than my skin 😂
High unsaturated fat is actually good rather than Ploy saturated like oils
My mom makes the paneer herself with milk and lemon something....and her paneer bhurji is soooo gooood
Tofu IS high in fat and protein just like paneer. The difference is that the ratio of fat to protein varies between extra firm, firm, and silk tofu, with extra firm having the lowest fat (around 40%) and silk having the most (at least 60%). Moreover, tofu contains unsaturated fat, strongly associated with a reduction in cardiovascular disease. Paneer has saturated fat, which is strongly associated with an INCREASE in cardiovascular disease and others.
I'm not vegetarian but I am allergic to eggs! I'll definitely be checking out that cottage cheese egg replacement!
Unless you are eating a huge amount of paneer everyday, it’s isn’t bad or unhealthy 😅😅. I have been eating all types of nutrients even I haven’t stopped consuming sugar, but in a limited amount ( As I am a Bengali, There’s Roshogolla, Pantua, Kalakand, an many other delicious sweet alternatives available). I added veggies and plant-based protein to my diet & did different combinations of workouts 🎉🎉🎉. I started to see changes in my body very soon and I recommend everyone to enjoy whatever you love. Dear, just try to be in a controlled portion, and little active ❤
one thing I love about Indian food is all the vegetarian options.
