Basmati is a variety of long grain rice which is traditionally from North India and Pakistan. Basmati was introduced to the Middle East by Indian traders. Through cultural exchange, it remains not only an important part of various Indian/Pakistani cuisines, but now is also used extensively in Persian, Arabic, and other Middle Eastern cuisines, as well.
