One pursuing punch up involving hot takeaway dish? (5)
I believe the answer is:
bhaji
If this is the answer I cannot explain how the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bhaji that I've seen before include "Indian snack" , "Something appetising taken from Indian" , "Indian dish of vegetables, especially onion, fried in batter" , "Indian fried appetiser" , "> cake" .)
