Food baked brown, the first thing to open? (8)
I believe the answer is:
tandoori
'food baked' is the definition.
(type of baked food)
'brown the first thing to open?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'brown' could be 'tan' (tan is a kind of brown) and 'tan' is located in the answer.
'first' could be 'i' (I in Roman numerals eg Elizabeth I) and 'i' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'door' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tandoori that I've seen before include "Tornado I found in Indian food" , "Indian cooking in clay oven" , "Type of Indian cooking" , "Indian-style cooking" , "Cuisine" .)
