Hi Dawnjen You could try baking soda,It is well known for eating odours. I would wash out the cupboard with washing soda then when dry put newspaper down then sprinkle the b.soda on newspaper.Hope it helps 
You should be able to pull the stove out from the wall, dawnjem.
I thought of baking soda, too. Of course there are a lot of cleaners on the shelves these days, but I think leaving the doors ajar once you have eliminated the smell may help. If you are renting perhaps the landlord could help. You could also take a course in Indian curry cuisine and you won't notice it then. Only kidding!!

I just moved into a two bedroom flat, and the cupboards are very powerfully smelling of mixed spice, curry and I have no idea what it is but it is horrificially powerful to make my eyes water everytime I open the cupboard doors. Thank goodness it is not the where the food is.
Does anyone have a simple way of getting rid of the high dosage of spices smell without the expense?
And a suggestion for cleaning behind the stove because it is somewhat sticky? Apparently the previous tenants missed something.
