Spicy rice, alluring eastern cuisine (one wants seconds!) (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pilau

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

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for pilau that I've seen before include "Type of rice" , "Eastern dish" , "Eastern food" , "Rice seasoned with spices and cooked with meat or vegetables" , "Speciality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
