Does curry smell even linger? I don't even consider it a bad smell but its not like it's going to permeate the walls like smoking. Funny he was fine with the Chinese in that case, who are more likely to cook chitlins at some point which can smell strong and bad for a week.

Why not? Granted curry isn't one of the smells I've dealt with but I've renovated a few houses and there are a large variety of odors that will sink into walls and floors.

Lived in an apartment complex and a neighbor was indian. That smell traveled through the whole building. I honestly think it passed through walls much easier than weed. It was bad.

Bad for you maybe, I love the smell of curry being made. I hate the smell of meat being cooked on bbq but hey this is a free country right and everyone is allowed to cook their own food.

I don't mind the smell, I do mind the smell every single day. Just like I don't mind kids playing, babies crying, loud music. But when it happens every day it gets to be a bit much.

> Does curry smell even linger?

Maybe it’s liquid fats (like ghee), cooking processes that aerosolise them (pressure cooking) and the heavy use of spices that’s the problem more than curry per se?

It is not “curry” per se, it is the oils at high temperatures that permeate everything.

Bacon or sausage, fish, spices, cigarette smoke. I know an Indian family that built a second kitchen on the backyard patio for frying and other types of cooking that resulted in smells they did not want in their own home.
