Kitchen help dispute contents of pulao (7)
I believe the answer is:
spatula
'kitchen help' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'dispute contents of pulao' is the wordplay.
'dispute' becomes 'spat' (spatting is a kind of disputing).
'contents of' means to look at the middle letters (the letters on the inside of the word).
The centre of 'pulao' is 'ula'.
'spat'+'ula'='SPATULA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spatula that I've seen before include "Paul sat (anag)" , "Thin-bladed kitchen tool" , "Implement for mixing/spreading" , "Flattened spoon" , "Tool with broad flexible blade for spreading and mixing" .)
