White basmati rice is a fragrant, long-grain variety known for its delicate aroma, fluffy texture, and slightly nutty flavour. It is a versatile staple used in a wide range of dishes, from curries and biryanis to pilafs and stir-fries. Its light texture and ability to absorb flavours make it a popular choice in both savoury and spiced recipes.
 
Basmati rice originates from the foothills of the Himalayas in India and Pakistan, where it has been cultivated for centuries. The name “basmati” means “fragrant” in Hindi, reflecting its distinctive aroma. It remains a key ingredient in South Asian cuisine and a global favourite.
