That sounds nice, but this likely won't help the OP's problem. The
source of the odor isn't the apartment air. The source is the
apartment walls, floor, and ceiling, which have absorbed the cooking
vapors and oils.

A thorough, professional, steam-cleaning of ALL the carpets might
help. I'd try that first. It won't fix the odor emanating from the
walls and ceilings. For that the OP may have to repaint everything.

I've known a couple of landlords who go out of their way to avoid
renting their property to Indians because the cooking odor left
behind makes the property unattractive to future tenants, and
expensive to de-odorize.
