Darling dog partly rejected Indian food (4)
I believe the answer is:
naan
'indian food' is the definition.
(I know that naan is Indian)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for naan that I've seen before include "Indian type of bread" , "Indian leavened bread" , "foreign food" , "Slightly leavened bread" , "Indian bread shaped like a teardrop" .)
