re: What makes nearly all Indian food smell like spicy tar?

You're crazy. Indian food is amazing. Though if you're in Louisiana, you've probably never had good Indian. The restaurants in Nola were bland as hell, especially Nirvana.
And the smell is amazing. I was a very picky eater growing up. But I had a couple close friends that were Indian. Their aunts and cousins were doctors and would stay with them while establishing their residency in America.
I remember staying out all night and crashing at their house. When I woke up and went downstairs, it smelt like heaven. They showed me the food cooking, and it looked gross. Like something I'd never eat. But I knew something that smelled so good, couldn't taste bad. Eating Indian food completely changed my eating habits.

Shawarma To-Go at the little gas station between Napoleon and Louisiana can't be beat.

My experience as well. It is amazing and opened my palette to try many more different things.
And knowing their culture they probably cooked all of that because you were staying with them. Good people.

CC, are you Indian? You're putting one hell of a lot of effort into this thread.
I've been all over Europe and Asia. I've had good Indian food, and bad Indian food. The best and worst (according to my personal tastes) were both made by authentic dot Indians. There was a time I swore I'd strangle the next frickstick who even said the word curry. The smell is sometimes offensive; if it is, then I'll pass on it, just like I would anything else that stinks.
No matter the culture, the dish, the spice, or anything else, there will be people who like it and those who dislike it, no matter how hard you try to convince them that they like what they don't like.

And the smell is amazing.

People in this state appreciate good food, especially spicy food. Perhaps more than anywhere else in this country.
The problem any ethnic food will have in this state is it will have to compete with cajun/creole cuisine. Which is not only wonderful but part of our heritage. For many natives, like myself, it's "comfort food".
If you grew up elsewhere, where good cooking wasn't elevated to an art form like here, than your experience is different.
