"Rice & Curry" is a song recorded by Swedish Eurodance artist Dr. Bombay. It was released in 1998 as the third single from his debut album, Rice & Curry (1998).
Content[edit]
The song has a humorous tone and is sung from the perspective of Dr. Bombay, a rice and curry chef who operates a restaurant in Calcutta while his uncle, a rice farmer, is on holiday.

Music video[edit]
An accompanying music video for the song was produced in 1998. The video features Jakobsen as Dr. Bombay and a multitude of backup dancers dressed in traditional Indian clothing, dancing, drumming, preparing and eating rice and curry and breathing fire as a result. The setting of the video is "Dr. Bombay · Flaming Hot Curry", a tented eating establishment equipped with strobe lights and elaborate live entertainment. Throughout the video, Jakobsen and the supporting dancers are seen rushing with water pistols to extinguish the flaming breath of customers who have eaten the curry.
The music video was shot on the rooftop of the Kuala Lumpur railway station in Malaysia.
