Rice and basa Tim cooked (7)
I believe the answer is:
basmati
'rice' is the definition.
(I know that basmati is a type of rice)
'basa tim cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'basa'+'tim'='basatim'
'basatim' with letters rearranged gives 'BASMATI'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for basmati that I've seen before include "Fragrant variety of rice" , "Type of long-grain rice" , "Fragrant type of rice" , "part of Indian order?" , "Type of long-grained rice" .)
