Put some curry powder in one of your soups?

I wouldn't risk anything else

I made a curry for my family when I was on the smooth/Purée stage and blended it down! It tasted like curry soup!

I too craved curry flavouring and thought it was a no, no, but asked my dietitian and she said yes it was fine. Would suggest you add some mild spice to your soup. It isn't the spices that can be the problem, its any fat and sugars that are in readymades and takeaways.

I'm exactly the same hah - a good tip for when you have the dreaded stall is to workout your loss and divide it by the weeks - makes it more of an average and definitely makes you look at it differently x
