Curried Rice

My lovely friend Fatima made this yummy yummy rice yesterday..being a desi I never really believed in curry powder but now I'm gonna go out and get some...

2 tablespoons Reduced-calorie margarine
1/2 cup Finely chopped onion
2 cloves Garlic; minced
1 1/2 cup Uncooked white basmati rice
1 teaspoon Curry powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
21 ounces Low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup Water
1/4 cup Chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon Grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice

Directions:
Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 5 minutes. Add rice and curry powder; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add salt, broth, and water, and bring to a boil.

Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, and stir in the remaining ingredients. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes; fluff with a fork
