Crossword Genius

Curry scoffed by Jack or Margaret (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

korma

'curry' is the definition.
(I know that korma is a type of Indian curry)

'scoffed by jack or margaret' is the wordplay.
'scoffed by' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer has been scoffed or eaten by the clue).
'KORMA' is hidden within 'jack or margaret'.

(Other definitions for korma that I've seen before include "Mild Indian curry" , "Curry dish" , "Indian dish" , "Mildly-spiced curry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
