Method
Toss the chickpeas with the kala namak to give them a savoury, eggy flavour.
Heat half the vegetable oil in a griddle pan over medium-high heat and grill the tempeh for 4 minutes on each side until charred and heated through, then slice.
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the tofu cubes with the smoked paprika for 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden.
Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt and black pepper to make the dressing.
Arrange the chopped lettuce on a platter and top with neat rows of the sliced tempeh, crispy tofu, seasoned chickpeas, avocado, cherry tomatoes and vegan cheese.
Drizzle with the dressing just before serving.
