Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for about 20 minutes, then drain.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens and starts to break down.
Stir in the sliced carrot and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the drained rice to the pot and stir well to coat the rice with the oil and vegetables.
Pour in 4 cups of water, add salt to taste, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork, add the lemon juice and black pepper, and mix gently.
Serve hot and enjoy your Tomato and Carrot Pulao.
