In a large saucepan, saute rice, onion, minced garlic and garam masala in butter for 5 minutes.
Stir in broth and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 18-22 minutes or until rice is tender.

Cool the rice before assembling salad.

Curry powder mix:

1/2 cup curry powder from the bulk spice bins
1 tsp ground cinnamon
