Often red dish with lines on top, bottom in amber and indigo (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tandoori

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

'often red dish' is the definition.
'tandoori' can be an answer for 'dish' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'often red' bit.

'with lines on top bottom in amber and indigo' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'with' could be 'and' (I've seen this before) and 'and' is found in the answer.
'and' could be 'too' and 'too' is found in the remaining letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tandoori that I've seen before include "Cuisine" , "Indian-style cooking" , "Type of restaurant" , "dish" , "Tornado I found in Indian food" .)
