Tea and a little bit of butter on one’s bread (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chapati

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bread' is the definition.
(chapati is a kind of bread)

'tea and a little bit of butter on one's' is the wordplay.
'tea' becomes 'cha' (cha is a type of tea).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a little' means to remove the last letter (the word is not quite complete).
'bit of butter' becomes 'pats' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'pats' with its last letter taken off is 'pat'.
'cha'+'pat'+'i'='CHAPATI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chapati that I've seen before include "Sort of bread" , "What Indian waiter might bring" , "Piece of bread (Indian)" , "I may be taken in with Indian" , "Unleavened bread of India" .)
