Rush on hot curry when cold out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hurry

'rush' is the definition.
(I know that rush can be written as hurry)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for hurry that I've seen before include "Move with great haste" , "Get a move on" , "Rush" , "Make haste" , "Look sharp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
