I believe the answer is:

vindaloo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'indian dish' is the definition.
'vindaloo' can be an answer for 'dish' (I have seen 'Hot dish' mean 'vindaloo' so perhaps 'dish' could also mean 'vindaloo'). I am not certain of the 'indian' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vindaloo that I've seen before include "burner" , "takeaway?" , "Type of hot curry" , "Hot dish" , "Indian food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
