Ready to eat selection of Kashmiri peppers (4)
I believe the answer is:
ripe
'ready to eat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'selection of kashmiri peppers' is the wordplay.
'selection of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RIPE' is hidden within 'kashmiri peppers'.
(Other definitions for ripe that I've seen before include "Ready for picking" , "Seasoned, fully grown" , "Pier (anag.)" , "Mature for eating like fruit" , "Opportune" .)
