20d Flatten out leaves in rice dish I tucked into. Ans was given in https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles/Crosswords/Question1624030.html as plateau which is flatten out. I can see that pilau is a rice dish , tucked into is ate. But how does the clue tell us to remove an I ? I know it says leaves but it doesn't say I leaves .
