How to Make Basmati Rice Seasoned With Garam Masala

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 teaspoon of Garam Masala. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are softened and translucent.
  4. Add 1 cup of basmati rice and stir until each grain is evenly coated with the butter and spices.
  5. Pour in 1 ¾ cups of hot vegetable stock, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil on the stovetop.
  7. Cover the pot tightly and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed.
  8. Remove from oven and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving.
