I'm a big fan of plant-based meats (otherwise, I'd have never stuck with vegetarian diet), but where do you even get plant based eggs? Are those new? Like, I've never seen them before but really want to try them. I'm lacto/ovo vegetarian but lactose intolerant and can't afford eggs, so right now this is about as close to vegan as I've ever been.
As others have mentioned, chick peas (I'd recommend chick pea flour) can be a great base. If you want it to taste similar to eggs you can have a look at Kala Namak. Kala Namak is a salt that's rich in sulfur. If you add a bit to a dish it immediately smells like eggs.
Chick peas are a minor deity in this household
Indeed, with rice being a major deity in mine!
