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

'food item from indian cuisine?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'red banana exotic' is the wordplay.
'exotic' indicates an anagram (an unusual form of the letters).
'red'+'banana'='redbanana'
'redbanana' with letters rearranged gives 'NAAN BREAD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for naan bread that I've seen before include "Indian food item" , "Teardrop-shaped accompaniment to an Indian dish" , "Indian staple?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
