Holy water in which an egg's cooked (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ganges

'holy water' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'an egg's cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'an'+'eggs'='aneggs'
'aneggs' is an anagram of 'GANGES'.

'in which' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ganges that I've seen before include "Indian flower" , "Sacred river of N India" , "Holy water" , "Sacred Hindu river in India" , "River flowing into the Bay of Bengal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
