Singular spicy dish in scuttle (6)
I believe the answer is:
scurry
'scuttle' is the definition.
(I know that scuttle can be written as scurry)
'singular spicy dish' is the wordplay.
'singular' becomes 's' (abbreviation in grammar).
'spicy dish' becomes 'curry' (I've seen this before).
's'+'curry'='SCURRY'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for scurry that I've seen before include "Move quickly" , "short horse race" , "Bustle" , "Rush; scramble" , "Scuttle" .)
