I believe the answer is:

basmati

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rice' is the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for basmati that I've seen before include "Variety of long-grained rice" , "Fragrant type of rice" , "Type of long-grain rice" , "Type of long-grained rice" , "part of Indian order?" .)
