One found in place a universal spicy dish (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pilau

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

'one found in place a universal' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'found in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'place' becomes 'pl' (abbreviation used in postal addresses).
'universal' becomes 'U' (film certificate).
'i' inserted into 'pl' is 'pil'.
'pil'+'a'+'u'='PILAU'

(Other definitions for pilau that I've seen before include "Rice cooked in seasoned broth" , "Spiced rice dish" , "Indian dish of rice boiled with meat, vegetables, spices etc" , "Spicy rice dish from the East" , "Foreign dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
