Its not difficult to do at all, as long as the OP isn't taking a flight to Delhi, in which case it would beg the question why they are going there in the first place!
Travelling in another cabin is poor advice as club tend to serve curry quite a bit, plus the air circulates at 1lb/passenger/min and most of that is recirculated through a HEPA filter (which whilst very efficient, may not guarantee no allergy issues).
I would speak to special services. They can even provide you with your own oxygen supply, someone on here wrote about it. Do a search, it was a really useful post.
Peanut allergies are easier for airlines to deal with provided enough notice is given and an alternative can be sourced during the catering, generally most airlines would need at least 48hrs notice.
The curry issue as others have noted, is a difficult one. "Curry" or rather the various spices that make up curry meals are generally found in most meals. The airline would therefore have to develop a new set of catering just for one flight in the aim to try to avoid the wide range of spices. Catering is generally decided and agreed months in advance and isn't something that can be changed for just one flight. The catering kitchens are set up to process foods in batches for a number of flights at a time. Also the costs involved in attempting to re-cater one flight out of hundreds would not be worth it as you are talking about specialised catering for one flight.
