Some took raw vegetable (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

okra

'vegetable' is the definition.
(okra is a kind of vegetable)

'some took raw' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'OKRA' is hidden within 'took raw'.

(Other definitions for okra that I've seen before include "Bhindi or lady's finger" , "vegetable dish" , "Green pods, in stews" , "Pod eaten in soups, stews etc" , "old ladies' fingers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
