Blow hot dish (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fritter

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'blow' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hot dish' is the second definition.
'fritter' can be an answer for 'dish' (I have seen 'Fried dish' mean 'fritter' so perhaps 'dish' could also mean 'fritter'). I am unsure of the 'hot' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fritter that I've seen before include "Squander - food" , "bit of batter" , "Squander - fried dish" , "Food fried in batter" , "Piece of meat, etc., coated in batter and fried" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
