Cuisine from Ontario failing to engage daughter (8)
I believe the answer is:
tandoori
'cuisine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ontario failing to engage daughter' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'daughter' could be 'd' and 'd' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'ontario' is 'tanoori' which is located in the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tandoori that I've seen before include "Type of Indian cooking" , "Style of Indian cookery" , "Tornado I found in Indian food" , "Cuisine" , "Cooked in an Indian clay oven" .)
