Tofu Makhani (Indian Butter Tofu) recipe is one-pot Tofu and Broccoli Rice recipe

One pot is all you need to make custardy tofu, fluffy rice, crisp vegetables and a spicy sauce for dinner tonight. Toast rice with ginger and garlic for a fragrant base, then partway through steaming the rice, add broccoli florets. Use the rice’s resting time to warm the tofu on top.

This recipe is a vegetarian riff on butter chicken, or murgh makhani, a classic Indian dish in which chicken simmers in a rich, dairy-laden tomato sauce. This weeknight-friendly version has a toned-down ingredient list, and the tofu doesn't require hours of marinating. Heavy cream gives this dish a rich finish, but full-fat coconut milk makes a fine substitute.
