Mathu Jeyaloganathan MasterChef

Mathu Jeyaloganathan is a contestant on the 20th series of MasterChef UK on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. She is among the contestants cooking for judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace in the fourth heat of MasterChef 2024, alongside Aaron Brady, Chaz Barnes, Haddy Duval, Penny Welch and Steve Deakin.

Mathu told the BBC about her earliest cooking memory: “My earliest cooking memory is watching and helping my grandma pick curry leaves from the stalk in Sri Lanka. She would then use them to cook a curry for us all to eat. I also have very strong memories of eating fried Kingfish over fires and roast paan (a Sri Lankan type of bread) in Sri Lanka.

I first really learned to cook when I moved out on my own and was craving Sri Lankan food – and generally food that wasn’t out of a packet! I watched YouTube videos and used books to learn the techniques I use in my cooking. My base flavours come from my childhood and I try to combine that with my upbringing in Toronto.”

Her style of cooking is “Sri Lanka meets North America.” She added: “I love using loads of different traditional Sri Lankan ingredients and spices and combining them with North American favourites such as fried chicken and shrimp with grits, bagels, cream cheese and onion chutney.”
