ABOUT Steamed Fish in Banana Leaf RECIPE

I love Sundays as I have guests visiting our place and I get to try new dishes. I was craving for fish the whole week and had decided to prepare all the fish delicacies today. Here goes the menu to impress my guests - Fish tawa fry, Steamed fish in banana leaf, Fish Biriyani, Fish gravy with ragi balls. It was fish overload today!

Ingredients Serving: 2

Fish with no bones – 1 Kg
Onion – 2, cut in julienne
Green chilli – 10
Coriander Leaves – 200 gms
Mint Leaves – 100 gms
Jeera – 1 tbsp
Ginger – 1 Inch, crushed
Garlic – 10 pods, crushed

Instructions

Clean the fish and slice them into thin pieces. Coarsely grind the chillies, coriander leaves, mint leaves and jeera.
In a bowl mix the above ingredients with onions, salt, ginger and garlic. Spread the fish with this mixture and let it marinate for 2 hours.
Cut the single banana leaf into four parts. Place the fish with some of the above mixture and fold them well and tie them.
To steam, heat water in a bowl, place a bowl and align the fish pockets in them. Then close the lid.
Cook them on a low flame until the banana leaf colour changes. This takes around 30-35 mins.
Serve hot alongside rice for best taste.
