Emerald Methi Spinach Pulao with Pan-seared Tofu

A vibrant, nutrient-dense one-pot meal that utilizes your fresh spinach (palak) and fenugreek (methi) greens. While traditional recipes use paneer, this version uses firm tofu to match your pantry inventory, providing a high-protein, cholesterol-free alternative that mimics the texture of paneer perfectly when pan-seared. The rice is infused with a spiced green paste, making it an aromatic and iron-rich main course.
