Curry has become a staple in my eating lately.

I actually love all types of foods. But in reality, with a peanut and tree nut allergy, I have to be careful when eating out. I’m that person at the table that asks if there’s nuts, peanuts, or sesame seeds on it or cooked with it. I feel like food allergies are really annoying and are probably annoying to those in the restaurant industry. I just imagine them wishing I ate at home instead of at their establishment.

Ryan has really gotten me obsessed with curry lately. There is a little curry restaurant by his work in downtown SLC that just makes me wish I worked downtown so I could go all the time. On Monday, I had the day off work for Pioneer Day, so I met him for lunch and had the most delicious yellow curry, green curry, and massaman curry.

I got to thinking, how can I make delicious curry at home that’s quick, delicious, and in line with my FitLife. Turns out, it’s really easy and takes about 30 minutes. To save you some more time, get a rotisserie chicken from the store, cut it up, and use it here. I promise you’ll save time by not having to cook the chicken too. And to save even more time, get an Instant Pot for your rice. It’s quick and doesn’t make a mess all over the stove. Plus you don’t have to watch the rice cook.
