Rice & Curry is the first studio album by Swedish bubblegum dance artist Jonny Jakobsen under his pseudonym Dr. Bombay, released in 1998.

Contents

The album was the subject of mild controversy upon its release, prompted by a negative reaction to its faux-ethnic themes by the Indian government but no legal action was ever pursued. [1] [2]

Two of its tracks have been featured in the Beatmania IIDX series of video games [3] and one is featured in the 2000 edition of Samba de Amigo . [4]
