Roti Canai

This is what Savi was talking about, in her reply to my high tea post down below.

Very flaky and light, its a delicately made gothamba roti, eaten with Malay curry gravy, some times in the mornings.
I took this photo at the breakfast buffet, Royal Bintan Hotel, Kulula Lumpur, Malaysia, just before Christmas, 2006.
I've been traveling breathlessly; and I've got some more food shots to post.

Coming soon!

Pradeep Jeganathan was born and raised in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where he lives and works. He began to cook when he discovered, as an undergraduate in the US, that MacDonald's was terrible. He continued, when he realized that girls like a guy who knows to cook. After he took up photography as a hobby, he got into shooting food. He has eaten a lot of cold meals since, but he hasn't stopped, because taking a photograph, helps him remember what he's eaten. (He eats a lot, and some times, he forgets). His food photos have been published in a variety of international and Sri Lankan print magazines and web sites and his food photo/recipe columns have appeared Zero77 & Spectrum ("Achcharu") and will soon appear in Ink. He's been a featured chef on ETV's The Home Gourmet, his cooking and food photos have been the subject of a feature article in Sri Lanka's Sunday Times; his food blog has also been featured in Femina.in -- the Indian women's magazine.
