Girl consuming a side dish in Mumbai? (5)
I believe the answer is:
raita
'side dish in mumbai?' is the definition.
(raita is an Indian side dish)
'girl consuming a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'girl' could be 'rita' (woman's name) and 'rita' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for raita that I've seen before include "dish in the curry house" , "fare from India" , "Indian food good as side-dish" , "Yogurt, chopped cucumber and spices" , "Indian side-dish of yogurt and cucumber" .)
