Some paratha, ricotta and a kind of bean (7)
I believe the answer is:
haricot
'a kind of bean' is the definition.
(I know that haricot is a type of green bean)
'some paratha ricotta and' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'HARICOT' is hidden in the letters of 'paratha ricotta and'.
(Other definitions for haricot that I've seen before include "French bean" , "Vegetable" , "kind of ragout" , "Type of bean in a chariot" , "Variety of bean" .)
