Indian chicken curry w/butter garlic basmati rice and homemade naan bread

I like eating this curry with either basmati rice or wild rice. When you cook the basmati rice, soak the rice in cold water for 30 min. before cooking. Then, place about 6 cups water into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add 1 cup rice, return to a medium boil, then add 1 tsp salt, 2-3 bay leafs and 2-3 cloves of mashed garlic. Cook for about 5 min. Then, Drain the rice, add 2 tbsp butter and a pinch of pepper.
