I believe the answer is:

ice-skater

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

'curry? use' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'some spices kate roasted' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'ICE-SKATER' can be found hidden inside 'spices kate roasted'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ice-skater that I've seen before include "Person gliding on frozen water" , "Dean for one" , "Winter sportsperson" , "Torvill or Dean, say" , "One gliding over rink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
