Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon zest and black pepper, and cook for another minute.
Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pot and stir well to coat the rice with the oil and spices.
Pour in the water and add salt to taste. Stir well.
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, drizzle with lemon juice, and serve hot.
