My personal tricl is to wear a shower cap when cooking, keep the kitchen door shut and leave the windows wide open. It tends to do the trick.

I hate having to wash my hair so often, just to get rid of the spice smells! Even chappaties are bad in this regard- the smell thats left behind is awful, especially in your hair! Cheers, Isabel Hi,

I eat before I go and watch what I eat b/c my G.I. gurgles for 3 days afterwards. It must be an acquired taste that I have yet to acquire. Whew!

It doesn't seem to contain too many "stinky" spices (they don't stink to me) that stay on clothes! :) I hope she agrees this is one delicious dal!

It's a dilemma. Still, it beats out the one and only time I made beef broth any day! I don't eat much meat anyhow (mostly veg and a little seafood), but I once got all many-step-gourmet and made a beef broth for a pot-de-feu once. Blecch. It made the house smell awful, and it lingered forever it seemed. Never again. Ick.
