Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for about 30 minutes, then drain.
Slice the onions thinly and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the drained rice to the pot and stir well to coat the rice with the oil, onions, and garlic.
Add the black pepper and salt to taste, then pour in the 4 cups of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then 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.
Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork, add the lemon juice, and mix gently.
Serve the Onion and Garlic Pulao hot as a side dish or main course.
