Bread and serving of butter included in tea (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chapati

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

'serving of butter included in tea' is the wordplay.
'serving of butter' becomes 'pat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'included in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tea' becomes 'chai' (I've seen this before).
'pat' going within 'chai' is 'CHAPATI'.

'and' is the link.

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
