Curry in the morning, right, fine to serve up? (5)
I believe the answer is:
korma
'curry' is the definition.
(I know that korma is a type of Indian curry)
'morning right fine to serve up?' is the wordplay.
'morning' becomes 'am' (as in 12:00 AM).
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'fine' becomes 'OK' (synonyms).
'to serve up?' says the letters should be written backwards (I've seen 'serving up' mean this).
'am'+'r'+'ok'='amrok'
'amrok' in reverse letter order is 'KORMA'.
'in the' is the link.
(Other definitions for korma that I've seen before include "Curry dish" , "Indian dish" , "Mildly-spiced curry" , "Mild Indian curry" .)
