Very hot curry (8)
I believe the answer is:
vindaloo
'very hot curry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for vindaloo that I've seen before include "Given hot meal" , "Highly-spiced Indian curry" , "Curry dish -- Avon lido (anag)" , "Very hot Indian curry" , "Type of hot curry" .)
