🥄 Texture
Tender, fluffy rice with individual grains separated and lightly coated in tomato juices. Small soft tomato pieces and lightly sautéed garlic provide occasional bursts of pulp and a slight chew.
👃 Aroma
Warm, toasty garlic note up front with a fresh ripe tomato sweetness and mild savory depth. A faint black pepper lift adds a subtle spicy scent in the background.
🍷 Pairs Well With
A chilled, crisp white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc) or iced lemon water; a light, unsweetened iced tea also works well.
🥗 Side Dishes
Grilled or roasted chicken, sautéed or roasted vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers), a cucumber-tomato salad or a cooling yogurt raita; a fried or poached egg is also nice on top.

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until it becomes fragrant and light golden.

Add the diced tomatoes to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until they start to break down and release their juices.
- 3
Pour in the rice and stir well for 1 minute to coat it with the oil and tomato mixture.

Add the water, salt, and black pepper. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 15-18 minutes until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed.

Remove from heat, let it sit covered for 2 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot.
