In late 1997, an American company was granted a patent by the US government for a new type of rice 'Texmati'. They made this type of rice by the hybridisation of Indian Basmati rice and a local type of rice. Basmati is a variety of long, slender grained aromatic rice which is traditionally from the Indian subcontinent.
So, the correct option is 'Basmati battle'.
