Indian sides in garnish finish off tandoori (6)
I believe the answer is:
gandhi
'indian' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gandhi that I've seen before include "Indian activist" , "Indira -, former Indian PM" , "Indian political and spiritual leader, assassinated 1948" , "Old Indian leader" , "Indian political dynasty" .)
