Basmati Rice Seasoned with Garam Masala

2 cups basmati rice
4 tablespoons butter
1 medium-size onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon garam masala
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cups vegetable broth

I just throw all the ingredients in my rice cooker and press START. But the original recipe tells you how to cook it if you don't have a rice cooker:

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium stove-to-oven pot melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic and garam masala and cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring until onions are softened. Add rice and stir until well coated. Add vegetable stock, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Cover and bake in the oven until the rice is tender and the stock is absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand, covered for 5 minutes before serving.
