Simple vegan broccoli quiche for all the quiche lovers.
I was attempting to make a broccoli quiche for a while now, and it finally happened.
This is a pretty simple recipe with just 10 ingredients.
One of the ingredients that I used in this recipe is black salt even called kala namak.
Kala namak is a type of Indian volcanic rock salt and has a very distinctive sulfurous taste, often compared to hard-boiled egg yolks. According to Ayurvedic medicine, it is supposed to have numerous health benefits, but in vegan cuisine, we are mostly after this egg yolk taste.
First time I used it I got surprised by how well it mimics the taste of eggs.

I don’t know about your cups. But 28 litres of flour seem a bit overwhelming

Well, it's a big quiche. 😀 Just kidding. It is 2,8 dl, not liter. 2,8 dl is 280 ml if that helps.
