Cheesy Curry Baked Rice | like swensen's but better

Today we're making Curry Baked Rice, because it's casserole season! Kidding, I just need an excuse to have cheese with everything.

If you're Singaporean, you would recognise curry baked rice being a thing at Swensen's - why and how, i don't know.

I’ll be showing you how to make a basic chicken curry too, using ready made, store-bought chicken curry powder (it's not as straightforward as adding powder to water) so yeah let's do this.
