one-pot chicken curry {a.k.a. curry in a hurry}
“Embark on a culinary journey with our one-pot chicken curry, where simplicity meets savory perfection. Effortless to make, this dish promises a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.”
I love when life hands me little surprises.
It’s like the universe is talking to me and saying, “How are you, my dear? I’m here if you need me. Let’s chat soon over a hot cup of joe.”
See, this past Saturday, my husband jetted off to London for the week. Some of you are probably asking, why is this a big deal? Great question. The answer, it’s the start of what will become the norm over the next three to five years. Mr. B took a new job last month and this trip is the first of many international flights he will be taking.
I’m not sure how I feel about this whole situation. Truthfully, we won’t know the effects of this insane amount of travel will have on our relationship for at least a couple of months. And that’s what really scares the bejesus out of me. I keep telling myself you won’t be alone you have the Village, the blog, friends, family, and you can always FaceTime. Damn, I hate the unknown.
Even though I’m hesitant about the future ahead, I was reassured in a small way this past week that everything will be okay. Both of us visited London for the first time together back in college. We were young and crazy, but had a blast. Our first night there we stayed up until 5am doing unmentionable shenanigans and ended up eating curry for the first time at some hole-in-the-wall restaurant. How we survived, I haven’t a clue.
Well, when I was looking through cookbooks on what to make this week, this chicken curry dish immediately popped up. I grinned from ear to ear. I knew instantly the universe wanted me to make this dish. I didn’t realize at the time how easy it is to make a curry dish. A little curry paste cooked with chicken and potatoes all mixed together in one pot….easy, peasy.
I may miss Mr. B, but this chicken curry makes the future seem bright.
“Indulge in the convenience and rich taste of our one-pot chicken curry—a culinary masterpiece that transforms any mealtime into a delightful experience. Elevate your dining with this effortless and flavorful creation.”
It seems like such a fitting recipe given what you’re both working through. It’s exciting but filled with lots of unknowns. I’m sure it’ll all work out perfectly! 🙂 Plus more time for chick flicks right? 😉
Thanks, Rachel! I definitely foresee a lot of chick flicks in my future! 🙂
I know the feeling. When my husband was in PA school, he was gone all. the. time. for clinical rotations. But we made it through and are actually better for it — we appreciate the time we do have together more now. And if you’ve got yummy meals like this chicken curry deliciousness to keep you company, you’ll be just fine. 🙂
Stephanie, you are absolutely right! I think the distance will make us stronger in the end. I just need to have some patience! 🙂
I ADORE curry – this sounds incredible!
Thanks, Liz! It was quite tasty and super easy to make!
The universe definitely wanted to you eat curry! My boyfriend will have to do a fair amount of travelling this year and I’m not sure how I’m going to cope with it but I’m trusting that it will all be okay in the end and will hopefully make me appreciate the time that we do have together even more.
You are spot on, my dear! I just need to be patient and realize it’s not the end of the world. I really think the distance will make our marriage stronger. Hopefully I will get to travel to London soon and then we can hang!
When Paul travels, I am usually OK for the first day or two but after that I am ready to be home. Hopefully this new opportunity will be great, though, for both of you! And I love this curry!
You have such a positive outlook on the situation. It may get lonely at times but your kitchen and blog can get you through! Oh, and maybe a glass of wine. This curry looks delicious! I love your blog!!!
Thank you, my dear!! That means so much! And yes, to wine. Lot’s and lot’s of wine!
I love a good curry in a hurry recipe!! Reminds me it has been awhile since I have made a big batch – inspired!!! Thank You!
And, with the Mr. traveling so much, you will have plenty of time to master the fine art of video!!
YES!! You are so right. I definitely need to work on the video skills. It’s one of my goals for 2013. Keep your fingers crossed:) And you should definitely make this curry, it’s amazing and super easy to make. Cheers!

Right? I keep saying it over and over, “curry in a hurry” in some sort of accent. Clearly, I find myself hysterical 🙂 You will love this dish – super easy to make and very flavorful. Cheers, friend!
Wow, thanks for sharing this very personal info about your new life situation. Y’all will be just fine—the distance will make you closer. You have to get really good at communication to be so far apart, trust me 🙂
I can’t wait to put this weeknight curry into my weekly recipes! Thanks 🙂
If you get lonely, let’s chat! We’re not so far away 😉
mmmm I’m loving this! I love curry, and it IS soup season!! “curry in a hurry” how perfect. I’ll be thinking of y’all, you know they make this creepy thing I’ve seen on Pinterest, where you each take a pillow to your respective locations, and somehow it glows when the other person is sleeping on it. How long will he be gone?
This looks amazing. I don’t have any curry paste in the house though. Can I substitute curry powder? And if so, how much? Thanks!
Laura – Hi! Thanks for your comment. I’ve been researching your answer about subbing curry powder for curry paste, and it looks like a lot of people don’t recommend it. I guess curry powder is a huge part of making curry paste so technically they aren’t the same. However, I say if you have curry powder and want to give it a go….then I say go!! Let me know how it turns out!
Thanks, Lauren! 🙂
When do you add the coconut milk?
