Basmati rice is a staple ingredient in Afghan cuisine and is widely used in traditional dishes such as Kabuli Pulao, Afghani Biryani, and Yakhni Pulao. Afghan cooking requires rice that is long-grain, non-sticky, aromatic, and capable of absorbing rich flavors from meat, spices, and vegetables. Because of these qualities, Indian basmati rice is the most preferred choice in Afghanistan.
India has been a trusted trade partner of Afghanistan for decades, and the export of basmati rice from India to Afghanistan continues to grow due to high demand and consistent quality.
