Blend the tomato with the garlic, onion, and a bit of chicken broth, set aside. Heat a small pot over medium heat with the oil, fry the rice until slightly golden. Add the blended mixture and cook for a few minutes until the rice absorbs the flavor. Add the remaining chicken broth, carrot, peas, chiles, and salt. Cover the pot and cook until it starts to boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes to finish cooking with its own heat, stir before serving to fluff it up, serve, and enjoy.
