Yes, basmati rice is Halal.
Halal refers to anything permissible under Islamic law. Food is considered Halal if it adheres to specific guidelines for preparation and ingredients. Rice, including basmati rice, is a naturally occurring grain. Unless it's processed with non-Halal ingredients (which is highly unlikely in the case of plain basmati rice), it's inherently permissible for Muslims to consume.
The reference text highlights that basmati rice is commonly used in Halal carts, which indirectly reinforces its Halal status. The key takeaway is that plain, unprocessed basmati rice is Halal.
