See, you criticize the cuisine of a culture as bad because it's not to your liking.......if it's a "hey, who else's doesn't like curry?", fine. But you are approaching it as if they have it wrong. They don't.
You are belittling me because I dislike whatever flavor that caused that tar smell instead of offering any real suggestions.
If I knew what the hell it was, I could probably order the food without it.

Rightfully so. My real suggestion is that you visit a good Indian restaurant and eat just about anything on the menu.

Asafoetida is often used in Indian food. It is from a tree resin and can smell like tar.
Cardamom, another seasoning, can sometimes smell like rubber tires. Black cardamom is particularly pungent.
ETA: Asafoetida is fairly common in Southern India cooking.
