Order and ask about hot curry (7)
I believe the answer is:
dhansak
'curry' is the definition.
(I know that Dhansak is a type of Indian curry)
'order and ask about hot' is the wordplay.
'order' is an anagram indicator.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hot' becomes 'h' (common abbreviation eg on taps).
'and'+'ask'='andask'
'andask' is an anagram of 'dansak'.
'dansak' placed around 'h' is 'DHANSAK'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
