Name by which Chennai was once known (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madras

(Other definitions for madras that I've seen before include "Kind of curry" , "Variety of curry" , "Cotton fabric; hot curry" , "Former name of Indian city and state" , "Tamil Nadu capital; a hottish curry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
