May film balti being cooked, indicating how easily it can be burned (12)
I believe the answer is:
flammability
'how easily it can be burned' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'may film balti being cooked' is the wordplay.
'being cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'may'+'film'+'balti'='mayfilmbalti'
'mayfilmbalti' with letters rearranged gives 'FLAMMABILITY'.
'indicating' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
