Indian dish female relative brought up, we hear (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
nan bread
'indian dish' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'female relative brought up we hear' is the wordplay.
'female relative' becomes 'nan' (grandmother).
'brought up' becomes 'bred' (to breed is to bring up or raise).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'bred' is a homophone of 'bread'.
'nan'+'bread'='NAN BREAD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nan bread that I've seen before include "food" , "One accompanying Indian" , "Indian menu item" .)
