Groom's hot stuff (5)

I believe the answer is:

curry

This clue is a double definition.

'groom's' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'hot stuff' is the second definition.
(type of hot dish)

(Other definitions for curry that I've seen before include "groom" , "Scratch" , "Vindaloo, for example" , "Pungent Indian dish" , "Indian-style dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
