Indian potato female gets cold (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aloof

'cold' is the definition.
(both can mean distant)

'indian potato female' is the wordplay.
'indian potato' becomes 'aloo' (I've seen this before).
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'aloo'+'f'='ALOOF'

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for aloof that I've seen before include "A fool being cool and remote" , "Distant or stuck-up" , "Disinterested" , "reserved" , "Socially detached" .)
