Removing Indian Food Cooking Odors? Hello all, I come from an East Indian family that lives abroad. My mother often cooks Indian food which involves cooking of a lot of onions and other spices and herbs initially. As a result, there always is an awful smell that diffuses throughout the whole house. This smell is not just of onions but also of the spices used. In our language, it is called the smell of "tarka" (though, I may have spelled it wrong). Unfortunately, this smell has become a part of our house and can easily be recognized when entering our home. Does anyone know or have any ideas of removing this smell. Any suggestions would be appreciated S.M.

Indian Food At High Schools? I was planning to approach my local high school and ask if i could take over one of there hospitality and catering classes to show the class how to cook indian food and let them eat it. My initial plan was to go to the class with a 3 course meal for the children however these portions won't be the portions i give to customers at my restaurants these portions would be rather smaller. When i cook the starter i would like them all to gather around and watch however the point the starter is being grilled and cooked i would like them to sit down and write a review on what they have seen and what they liked best and the same procedure when i cook the main meal and the dessert. I would like responses from teachers and general people on how you think i should approach this and would it be a good idea and how i could make it a better prospect. i would much appreciate your help. thank you.

Cooking Indian makes my apartment smell like "B.O." for DAYS. Why?! Is it a particular spice? Suggestions? I don't mean to be disrespectful of Indian culture: My one flatmate makes great tasting Indian food, but the entire apartment smells for DAYS of "body odor", even after opening the window and burning candles. It gets into the clothes, sheets, and towels and drives the two non-cookers nuts! We don't want to ban Indian food and my flatmate is willing to leave out the offensive spice. We all did a sniff test, and no one spice seems to be the culprit. For some reason, it does not have an "Indian food" smell, it smells of sweat. Yuck! We have other Indian food enthusiasts and their homes don't have the problem. The smell is embarassing and VERY HARD to get rid of. He cooks mainly lentils...is it the lentils that are giving off the smell? He has a damaged sense of smell so he needs to spice heavily and isn't as aware of the overly offensive odor. We are DESPERATE for tips on: - which spice to cut out - how to lessen smells while cooking - how to help get rid of the smell after
