Bukhari rice is based on a traditional recipe from the city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. So why do Syrians cook Uzbek rice? You can thank the Silk Road and the centuries of trade and cultural exchange that linked modern day Uzbekistan and Syria (and far beyond, both east and west). The traditional route may have disintegrated in the 15th century, but here we are in Rochester in 2023 still reaping its delicious benefits.
