I love curry but hate cooking indoors with it. It can stink up a house in a way not even roadkill can. Not that I've tried frying roadkill, mind you. Any Texans in the house? :D

You must be using the wrong kind of curry. Try S&B Curry (a gingery Singapore-style curry), with the following recipe adapted from Joyce Chen (a famous Boston-area restaurant owner):

8 pieces chicken (thighs are best!)
1 c. sliced onion
2.5 TBS curry (S&B!)
1 TBS chili powder (1 tsp. of real New Mexico chile will work, to taste)

Brown chicken in 2-4 TBS oil. Remove chicken and brown onions till golden. Mix in curry, chili powder, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to boil and simmer for 20 min. Remove chicken. Add 2.5 TBS flour mixed with 1/2 cup water and 1 tsp salt. Simmer and stir till thickened. Mix with chicken and serve.

My wife's variation is to dredge the chicken with flour before browning, and then leave out the flour later.
