Jehan's Beef

Jehan's Beef
Originally uploaded by pradeep jeganathan.

Last Sunday, Jehan asked me to lunch at his cool apartment on Amarasekere Mawatha (Dawson Rd).
The house specialty which is beef curry, was on offer -- its a sirloin cut, so it doesn't have to be cooked long to be as soft and succulent as it was. The special ingredient is MD ambarella chutney, which gives it a lovely tang.
He served it with a cumber yorghert ritha, and and biriyani rice!

A great afternoon, with his wonderful friends.

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.
