Drink in paprika sauce from the East (4)
I believe the answer is:
saki
'drink' is the definition.
(saki is a kind of drink)
'in paprika sauce from the east' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'from the east' is a reversal indicator.
'ikas' is hidden within 'paprika sauce'.
'ikas' in reverse letter order is 'SAKI'.
(Other definitions for saki that I've seen before include "Pen name of short story writer, H.H. Munro, d. 1916" , "Monkey; author's pen name" , "Pseudonymous English writer" , "Japanese rice alcohol - British short story writer" , "drink in Tokyo" .)
