Cook okra in pan briefly for spiced fritter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pakora

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'spiced fritter' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'cook okra in pan briefly' is the wordplay.
'cook' is an anagram indicator.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'briefly' means to remove the last letter.
'okra' with letters rearranged gives 'akor'.
'pan' with its final letter taken off is 'pa'.
'akor' put inside 'pa' is 'PAKORA'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pakora that I've seen before include "Indian dish of vegetables or meat deep-fried in spiced batter" , "Indian food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
