Ma! Create spicy meal! (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cream tea

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'ma create spicy' is the wordplay.
'ma create' anagrams to 'CREAM TEA'.
However, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cream tea that I've seen before include "Meal with scones and jam" , "afternoon treat" , "snack" , "tasty treat" , "Devon speciality" .)
