A dish — such as curry? (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
hot stuff
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'a dish' is the first definition.
(both can mean an attractive person)
'curry?' is the second definition.
(hot type of food)
'such as' is the link.
(Other definitions for hot stuff that I've seen before include "Something outstanding - vindaloo?" , "blue movie" , "Something sensational, daring or erotic" , "curry?" , "X-rated, apparently" .)
