Do pigs eat odd bits of dal? (7)
I believe the answer is:
swindle
'do' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'pigs eat odd bits of dal?' is the wordplay.
'pigs' becomes 'swine' (I've seen this before**).
'eat' indicates putting letters inside.
'odd bits of' indicates alternate letters.
The alternate letters of 'dal' are 'dl'.
'swine' going around 'dl' is 'SWINDLE'.
(Other definitions for swindle that I've seen before include "Cheat (out of money)" , "Trick" , "Diddle, sting, twist" , "Fraudulent scheme" , "Con, defraud" .)
