Question about Curry and Smell?

Question

If I live in an indian household and it smells strong of curry, will I smell like curry even if I dont eat any?

Answer 1

you should not, though the smell might permeate your clothes and you might have a light smell there.

Answer 2

yes curry is very pungent it can go anywhere even through walls to one room to the other

Answer 3

Yes, the esters (chemical compounds found in perfumes, spices, etc.) can be smelled in your clothes and hair.

Wash everything thoroughly with detergent to wash out the esters (or get rid of the smell of your girlfriends perfume...)

Answer 4

Do what I do:  Love Indian food, but I bake my curries like a casserole when I can (you reduce the liquid content for this or the auces are very thin), or I even cook outside on the patio with my electric frypan \under a hood with an odour filter: no smell in the house, no smell to annoy neighbours either.

It also keeps my body clean of that smell of onions, garlic and so on.  I love eating curry, not smelling like it.  Plus I do not eat it every day.

Answer 5

well your clothes will, becasue its natural that your clothes will smell of whatever the house smells of. your body wont as mush if you arent eating the food,becasue its what you eat that comes through your sweat glands

Answer 6

The smell even permeates your hair. You may not be aware of it, because you have become used to the smell. It is also all over your skin, as the oils on your skin absorb the smell.

Everything in the house will have the curry smell: you clothes, shoes, handbags, books, etc.

Answer 7

yes, its the same when someone is cooking fish..it will smell on your clothing, but maybe you can boil cinnamon to avert the smell..that is what i do.

Answer 8

If you cannot get away from the smell, then eat the curry and enjoy it.

Answer 9

yes. I am a cook and even though my clothes aren't anywhere near where they are making food they still pick up the scent of strong smelling food such as roasted meat or garlic. also when i cook something strong smelling in the house it gets into the drapes and into my clothes.
