Have you ever smelled a room permeated by Indian food?

Yes, it smells amazing. One of the best things about Indian food tbh.

		Maybe you're making really mild "Indian" food haha. I'm Indian and if we're making anything remotely spicy, we're dumping lots of hot stuff in a tadka or pan frying it, which is not only unpleasant elsewhere (read: eye watering and cough inducing), but sometimes prohibitively much for the person doing the cooking, if the ventilation is inadequate.

Yes it's the absolute best. Right up there with roasted pork or chicken thighs.

Cumin, Turmeric, hot onion and garlic just fragrant, butter, creams...

What do you think food should smell like? Boiled chicken? Do you have sensory issues?
